The correct option is D Both A and C
In anisogamy the fusing gametes differ in size and behaviour. One of the
two gametes is larger and is called macrogamete or female gamete; the
other is smaller and is termed microgamete or male gamete. In oogamy,
there is a large food laden non-flagellate female gamete called egg or
oosphere whereas the male gamete or antherozoid is smaller and motile.
Oogamy is the familiar form of sexual reproduction, it is a form of
anisogamy (heterogamy).
