Solution

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).
So, the correct answer is 'Both A and C'.
