Solution
The correct option is B Sexual reproduction
- Hydra are a type of freshwater cnidarians related to jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals.
- Hydra reproduce asexually by developing small, genetically identical polyps that protrude
from the parent. These polyps break off from the parent to form a new organism in a
process called budding.
- Asexual reproduction produces very closely resembling offspring. Asexual reproduction thus
results in offspring with minor variations.
- Sexually reproducing organisms produce offspring
with marked, significant, and visible variations. Hence, option C is correct.
