Solution

The correct option is C (ii) and (iv)
Reproduction is a biological process in which an organism produces young ones (offspring) similar to itself. In reproduction, offsprings have some resemblance with parents. Both sexual and asexual reproduction involves the transfer of genetic material.
So, the correct answer is 'Transfer of genetic material takes place and Progeny has some resemblance with parents'.
