    Solution

    There are two types of reproduction. Asexual reproduction- Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes , and almost never changes the number of chromosomes . Asexual reproduction is the primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as archaea and bacteria . Many plants and fungi sometimes reproduce asexually. Sexual reproduction- the production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types (sexes). In most higher organisms, one sex (male) produces a small motile gamete which travels to fuse with a larger stationary gamete produced by the other (female). Hence, option D is correct.
