Soln:

Sexual reproduction is a process that involves two parents and produces two types of gametes, male and female. During fertilisation, the gametes combine to produce the zygote. This is a necessary occurrence that ensures the species’ survival. Clones are the progeny that results from asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, however, genetic recombination and variety in the offspring can be observed, indicating that they are not clones. Hence the statement iv) is wrong.

So, the answer is (c) (i), (ii) and (iii)
