Solution

The correct option is C Frog
In amphibians like frogs, the female releases the eggs and male releases the sperms into the water. This is called external fertilisation as the fertilisation doesn't occur inside the female. Only a few eggs get fertilised as the eggs get destroyed by wind or water current or by any other reason. The fertilised eggs become tadpoles and then change to adult frogs by the process of metamorphosis.
