Yes, you are correct. The release of eggs and sperm near each other into the water is called spawning. To arrive at this answer, first, understand the question and the options provided. The question asks about the process that involves the release of eggs and sperm near each other into the water. The options are "spawning," "development," "growth," and "all of the above."
To find the correct answer, you can eliminate options based on their definitions. "Development" refers to the process of maturation and change in an organism's body structure, which does not specifically involve the release of eggs and sperm near each other. "Growth" refers to the increase in size or mass of an organism, which is unrelated to the simultaneous release of eggs and sperm.
The option "all of the above" means that all the previous options mentioned (spawning, development, and growth) could be correct. However, in this case, it is not accurate because only one of the options should be correct.
Therefore, based on the definitions and context, the correct answer is option A: spawning.
