The correct option is D Syngamy
The process of fusion between a haploid male nucleus and an egg nucleus is known as amphimixis. It is also known as syngamy or fertilization which leads to formation of a diploid zygote. It leads to the recombination of character which causes variation. It is a mode of sexual reproduction.
