Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Hydra can reproduce both asexually and sexually.

It reproduces by budding using the asexual method.

In many cases, it is possible that the male and female reproductive organs are present in one animal only.

The male reproductive organ produces sperms and the female reproductive organ produces a single egg, a fusion of which results in the formation of zygote. So, the correct answer is ‘1’
