Answer 1

D) fertilization

Step-by-step explanation:

Fertilization is the name given to the fusion of male and female gametes. By themselves, female egg cells -- called ova -- and male sperm cells cannot grow and divide. However, once a sperm cell breaks through the egg cell membrane, the genetic material combines and the new organism begins to grow and develop as a living thing.
