Solution

The correct option is A Hologamy
The process of fusion between the haploid male nucleus and egg nucleus is known as amphimixis. It is also known as syngamy. It leads to the formation of a diploid zygote. The form of sexual reproduction in which the gametes are of the same size and structure as the somatic cells. Trichonympha lives in the intestine termite species and helps them to break the cellulose which they take from the wood. They produce similar haploid gametes known as zooflagellates so it is classified as hologamy.
So, the correct answer is option A.
