Show Answer
Answer
B. Eudorina
Show Explanation
Explanation
In the conventional three-way distinction, Eudorina illustrates anisogamy with unequal-sized motile gametes, while Volvox illustrates oogamy with a large non-motile egg. In broader terminology oogamy is a specialized form of anisogamy; the classification convention is therefore made explicit.
