Solution

The correct option is D Parthenogenesis
Gametogenesis is the process of formation of mature gametes.
Metagenesis is the alternation of generations between sexual and asexual reproduction.
Oogenesis is the type of gametogenesis (female gametogenesis), where the ovum or the egg cell is formed.
The form of asexual reproduction, where the embryos grow and develop without fertilization is referred to as parthenogenesis.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
