Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
After fertilization, a zygote is formed which is a single diploid cell. The zygote undergoes mitotic divisions with no significant growth, a process known as cleavage leading to the development of the multi-cellular embryo. This process is also known as segmentation and cellulation. Hence, the correct answer is option D.
