Solution

The correct option is C Dizygotic
Fraternal twins are developed by fertilization of two eggs (ova) by two sperm to produce two genetically unique children. As two zygotes are formed, fraternal twins are also called as dizygotic twins. The dizygotic twins differ from each other like two siblings born at different times.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
