Solution

The correct option is B Fertilisation
The process of fusion of the male and the female gametes is called fertilisation. The main motive of all living organisms is to produce offsprings to the next generation. In the sexual reproduction, the fusion of male gamete and female gamete forms zygote. Here, the fusion of male and female gametes are of haploid (n) cells and thus produces diploid (2n) cells.
