The correct Answer is:
C
Syngamy involves the fusion of two entire gametes to form zygote. It includes :-
Endogamy, involves self fertilization i.e. fusion of two gametes of the same parent. It is thus uniparental.
Exogamy, involves cross fertilisation i.e. fusion of two gametes formed by different parent. It is biparental.
Isogamy, the fused gametes are similar morphologically as in Monocystis
Anisogamy, the fusing gametes are different in form, size structure and behaviour as in frog and humans.
