Answer 1

The correct option is C A large non-motile female gamete and a small motile male gamete

Oogamy is the type of fertilization in which the two gametes which are involved are of different sizes. The female gamete, called as the egg cell is non-motile and large in size. The male gametes are motile and can move towards the female gamete. The male gametes are small in size and produced more in number. The fusion of these type of gametes results in oogamy.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
