Solution

The correct option is A External
  • The comb jelly or the sea walnut is a species of Ctenophora belonging to the class Tentaculata.
  • These organisms have both male and female reproductive organs i.e, they are hermaphrodite and are free-spawning organisms
  • In them, the eggs and sperm are released into the water column where fertilization takes place which is also known as external fertilization.
  • So, the correct answer is 'External'.
