Solution

The correct option is C Algae
External fertilization occurs mostly in wet environments and requires both the male and the female to release their gametes into their surroundings (usually water). An advantage of external fertilization is that it results in the production of a large number of offspring. One disadvantage is that environmental hazards such as predators greatly reduce the chance of surviving into adulthood. Amphibians and fish, aquatic algae are examples of animals that reproduce this way.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
