Solution

The correct option is A New individuals are produced without fusion of gametes
Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which new individuals are produced without fusion of gametes. Offsprings produced by asexual reproduction are different from parents and genetic variation does not occur. In contrast, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation.
