This question is similar to the question in OG; I dont remember exactly, but I remember that you need an appositive to further define the sentence after comma using the same word (Look for word tissue in OG10). Only A, B WILL fit the bill. In A you have they-pronoun error which can also refer to yellow jackets, so remains B.

IMO B
C, D : 'which' is wrong
E : modifier issue. 'living' will modify to Yellow jackets
while we need to modify to wasps in general.
A, B remains
A : again modifier issue for society. [ ...they consist' wrong ]
B : 'society consisting' is the right usage
C, D : 'which' is wrong
