Solution

The correct option is D Both A and C
Dizygotic twins may occur if two or more oocytes are released in one cycle. If each is fertilized, dizygotic twins may result. Fertility drugs are a common cause for dizygotic twins, but other factors, like family history, maternal age or weight, can also lead to dizygotic twinning. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
