Solution

The correct option is C

Less number of offsprings are produced as fusion of male and female gametes is a chance.


In external fertilisation, large number of male and female gametes are produced at the same time and released into the surrounding water. As a result large number of offsprings are produced, but they are unprotected and thus extremely vulnerable to predators.
