Solution

The correct option is
B

False
Sexual reproduction involves gamete formation either by a single parent or by two parents of the same species. Certain hermaphrodites - organisms that have both male and female sexual organs - are able to produce male and female gametes at the same time. These can even self-fertilize thus voiding the requirement of two organisms in sexual reproduction.
