"Acorazadas" y provistas de mandíbulas filosas, como machetes, despedazan presas que las superan por mucho en tamaño, al atacar en cantidades tan descomunales que nos resulta difícil imaginar".  De acuerdo con este fragmento, podemos concluir que:

    A. Las hormigas guerreras son la especie viviente más agresiva de todas.
    Explanation

This conclusion can be drawn from the statement that the warrior ants are more aggressive in the art of war compared to lions, tigers, bears, and even humans. The passage highlights the ants' armored bodies and sharp jaws, which allow them to overpower much larger prey by attacking in massive numbers. This suggests that the warrior ants are the most aggressive living species.
