Solution
The correct option is B Zygote
In sexual reproduction, an egg cell from female and a sperm from a male fuse to form a zygote, precursor to an embryo offspring. The offspring is generally distinct from parents. Both the gametes contain half the number of required chromosomes, that is they are haploid in nature. The zygote contains the exact number of chromosomes required. This is how chromosome number is conserved from generation to generation. The zygote undergoes further cell division to form an embryo. So the correct answer is the zygote.
