a. mitosis
b. dizygotic twins
c. cross-fertilization
d. monozygotic twins

d. monozygotic twins

The correct answer is d. monozygotic twins. A zygote that divides into two separate entities after being fertilized by sperm results in the formation of monozygotic twins. In this process, a single fertilized egg splits into two embryos, which develop into two separate individuals with almost identical genetic material.
