Solution

The correct option is A 100,000
In short a gamete is an egg cell (female gamete) or a sperm (male gamete). This is an example of anisogamy or heterogamy, the condition in which females and males produce gametes of different sizes. This is the case in humans, the human ovum has approximately 100,000 times the volume of a single human sperm cell.
Hence A is the correct option.
