Answer 2

C. parthenogenesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parthenogenesis is a type of reproduction which occurs in extreme conditions in which an off-spring is born from an ovum (egg) even if the egg does not get fertilized by the male gamete. It is a type of asexual reproduction. It is exclusive to only a few invertebrates and lower plants. Parthenogenesis term is derived from a greek word which means "virgin birth". Since the new individual is reproduced out of an unfertilized egg the progeny resembles only one parent i.e. mother.
