Solution

The correct option is D Agamogenesis
Fragmentation, budding and spore formation are types of asexual reproduction where no gamete formation takes place. Here, a single organism produces offspring without the involvement of any other organism or gamete formation.
While agamogenesis does not involve a male gamete though organisms Are capable of producing male gametes or undergoing sexual reproduction. Parthenogenesis is an example of agamogenesis in which an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual. Honeybee and turkey undergo parthenogenesis.
So, the correct option is 'Agamogenesis'.
