Answer»

Correct choice is (c) virgin BIRTH

The best I can explain: It is reproduction without fertilization. This means, the egg or OVUM or the female gamete is not fertilized by the male gamete. The offspring HENCE born is haploid. SINCE there is no fertilization INVOLVED, it is called as virginal reproduction or virgin birth.
