Solution

The correct option is C Frog
During rainy season frogs move towards water bodies for reproduction. When the male and the female come together, female lays hundreds of eggs and male deposits sperms over them, which results in fertilisation. Since fertilisation happens outside the female body, it is called as external fertilisation.
