Solution

The correct option is B heterogametes
Majority of the sexually reproducing organisms produce two different types of gametes or sex cells, a male gamete produced by the male gonads and a female gametes produced by the female gonads. Both these gametes of the same species are morphologically and structurally different from each other and hence are called heterogametes.
