The correct answer is: a and b
All sexually reproducing organisms show meiosis and mostly the fertilization is internal. Higher plants perform asexual (vegetative) as well as sexual reproduction. Most of the animals perform only sexual mode of reproduction. In sexual reproduction, male and female gametes are formed by either the same individual or by different individuals of the opposite sex, which later on fuse together to form the zygote. Internal fertilization is commonly observed in sexual reproduction.
