D
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

True. Offspring produced by sexual reproduction are genetically dissimilar from each other and from their parents (except in the case of identical twins). This is due to crossing over, independent assortment during meiosis, and random fertilization, which create new combinations of genes.

Hint

Does sexual reproduction create clones or genetically unique individuals?
