Solution

The correct option is

B

Sexual

All human beings undergo a sexual mode of reproduction. In this process, two parents are involved in producing a new individual. Offspring are produced by the fusion of gametes (sex cells) from each parent. Hence, the newly formed individual will be different from their parents, both genetically and physically. Human reproduction is an example of sexual reproduction.

Vegetative reproduction is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment or cuts off the parent plant or specialized reproductive structures, which are sometimes called vegetative propagules.

Parthenogenesis is a form of reproduction in which an egg can develop into an embryo without being fertilized by a sperm.

Asexual reproduction involves a single parent. It results in offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. All prokaryotes and some eukaryotes reproduce this way. There are several different methods of asexual reproduction. They include binary fission, fragmentation, and budding.
