Solution

The correct option is B Large non-motile female gamete and small motile male gamete
Oogamy is defined as the fusion between a smaller motile male gamete and a larger non-motile female gamete. Oogamy is a form of heterogamy and is observed in humans. These gametes fuse to form the diploid zygote. Thus the correct answer is option B.
