Answer»

Right option is (B) Sperm

To elaborate: When the condition of male heterogamety is present, then sperm determines the sex of the offspring because two KINDS of sperms are present, one with X-chromosome and the other with Y-chromosome. EGGS of an individual are the same as both of them CONTAIN 22+ X CHROMOSOMES.
