Solution

(c) sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction is a form of reproduction where two morphologically distinct types of specialized reproductive cells called gametes fuse together involving a female's large ovum (or egg) and a male's smaller sperm. Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes of normal cells. Male and female gametes will exchange chromosomes half to its total number in the sexual mode of reproduction.
