The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks about the nature of fern sperms, specifically referring to them as antherozoids. 2. **Defining Antherozoids:** Antherozoids are the male gametes produced in the male reproductive organ called the antheridium of ferns. 3. **Types of Flagellation:** The options given describe the types of flagellation: - Multi-flagellated: More than two flagella. - Pentaflagellated: Exactly five flagella. - Biflagellated: Exactly two flagella. - Non-flagellated: No flagella present. 4. **Analyzing Fern Antherozoids:** In ferns, the antherozoids are known to have multiple flagella. This adaptation is crucial for their movement in water during fertilization. 5. **Conclusion:** Based on the characteristics of fern antherozoids, the correct answer is that they are multi-flagellated. 6. **Final Answer:** The correct option is **multi-flagellated**. ---
