Solution

The correct option is D Parthenogenesis
The process of sexual reproduction usually involves gametogenesis, which generates haploid gametes (sperm and ovum) and their fusion during fertilization. Sometimes an embryo can develop without participation of male gamete (sperm). Parthenogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which females produce offspring from unfertilized eggs i.e., the development of an unfertilized egg into an adult organism. It is common among honeybees, wasps, and certain other arthropods.
