Solution

The correct option is B
False

External fertilization is a strategy of fertilization, in which a sperm cell unites with an egg cell in the external medium, rather than inside a specialized organ within the body of a parent. For example the spawning of eggs in frogs. The sperms and the eggs are released into the water and fertilization takes place in this medium.
