Solution
The correct option is C
Embryogenesis
The first process in sexual reproduction is the production of gametes which is gametogenesis and after that the male gametes may be transferred to the site where the female gamete is present. Fertilization is the process of fusion of these 2 gametes. On fertilization the zygote is formed and this zygote undergoes embryogenesis. Therefore the development of zygote that collectively forms the post-fertilization events is termed embryogenesis.
