Solution

The correct option is B If both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
There is the formation of male and female gametes, either by the same individual or by different individuals of the opposite sex during sexual reproduction. The male and female gametes fuse to form the zygote which develops to form the new organism. Since there is the fusion of male and female gametes, the offspring produced by sexual reproduction are not identical to the parents or amongst themselves.
Sexual reproduction is an elaborate slow and complex process however this is not the reason for the formation of non-identical offspring.
