Solution

The correct option is C (i) and (iv)
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves a single parent to produce offspring.

It is faster than sexual reproduction because of its simplicity. Sexual reproduction is comparatively more complex.

The offspring produced are morphologically and genetically identical to one another and to their parents and are hence called clones.
