Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
In both types of reproduction, genetic material is transferred from parent(s) to offspring (II). Offspring also resemble their parents (IV), though more so in asexual reproduction. Gametogenesis (I) and reduction division/meiosis (III) are specific to sexual reproduction and do not occur in asexual reproduction.
