Answer:

Image 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Offspring which are clones of their parents are produced by asexual reproduction they arise from a single parent. During asexual reproduction, gamete fusion does not take place, so, there genetic composition in offspring remains similar to their parent organism.

On the other hand, during sexual reproduction, gametes from two different organisms (sexes) fuse together to produce offspring. These offspring are not clones of their parents as there the genetic information form two parents combine and leads in new combinations.

In given diagrams, organisms in diagram 3 are showing sexual reproduction, while other diagrams are showing asexual reproduction. Thus, the correct answer is 'image 3.'
