C
genes can pass directly from the mother to the embryo
D
the chance for zygote survival is increased
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chances of fusion of gametes are more. The probability of successful fertilization is increased. The mates are selective. The chances of dehydration of gametes decreases.

Detailed explanation-2: -Internal fertilization protects the fertilized egg or embryo from predation and harsh environments, which results in higher survival rates than can occur with external fertilization.
