D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction requires two parents. Each parent contributes a gamete-a sex cell that has half of the normal DNA of a regular body cell. In males, the gametes are sperm and in females, the gametes are eggs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction involves two parents. As you can see from Figure below, in sexual reproduction, parents produce reproductive cells-called gametes-that unite to form an offspring. Gametes are haploid cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -In sexual reproduction, two parents are involved in producing a new individual. Offspring is produced by the fusion of gametes (sex cells) from each parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring. Sea turtles are an example of an animal that reproduces sexually, a volvox (green algae) is an example of an organism that reproduces asexually, and a brittle star can reproduce in either way.
