A
Correct answer
Explanation
A zygote is a fertilized egg formed by the fusion of male and female gametes during sexual reproduction. This fusion is the defining characteristic of sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction (budding, fission, etc.) and vegetative propagation do not involve zygote formation since they don't require gamete fusion.
