B Asexual involves one parent and no gametes; sexual involves two parents and gamete fusion
Correct Answer
C Sexual reproduction is faster than asexual reproduction
D Asexual reproduction ensures more genetic diversity
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Hint

The key differences are the number of parents and the use of gametes.
