Solution

The correct option is D Same zygote
  • There are two types of twins, Fraternal or dizygotic twins, and monozygotic twins.
  • When the zygote, during the cleavage, separates and forms two different cells and both of them grow individually as embryos, they form the monozygotic twins.
  • Monozygotic twins are of the same sex.
  • When 2 zygotes are fertilized by two different sperms they form the dizygotic twins.
  • They can be of different sex.

So, the correct option should be 'Same Zygote'.
