Solution

The correct option is A Telolecithal
Telolecithal refers to the uneven distribution of yolk in the cytoplasm of the ovum. The yolk is concentrated at one pole of the egg, separate from the developing embryo. This type of egg undergoes discoidal meroblastic cleavage, where the yolk is not incorporated in the cells during cell division. This type of egg is usually found in birds, reptiles and amphibians. In frogs, the egg is moderately telolecithal. So, the correct answer is option A.
