Correct Answer: Parthenogenesis


Solution : The correct option is parthenogenesis.

Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction in which an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual without the involvement of male gametes. It occurs in various organisms, including certain species of rotifers, honeybees, lizards, and birds. While parthenogenesis can be beneficial in some situations, it can also limit genetic diversity compared to sexual reproduction.
