Solution

The correct option is B Offsprings are clones
Sexual reproduction results in the creation of two new cells from one that involves copying of the DNA as well as of the cellular apparatus. The DNA copying mechanism is not absolutely accurate, and the resultant errors are a source of variations in organisms. Hence the offspring produced are not clones.
