To determine the type of eggs of Amphioxus, you need to consider the amount and distribution of yolk within the egg. The term "alecithal" refers to eggs that have little or no yolk, while "telolecithal" refers to eggs with a large amount of yolk concentrated at one end of the egg. "Meiolecithal" refers to eggs that have a moderate amount of yolk distributed throughout the cytoplasm, and "mesolecithal" refers to eggs with an intermediate amount of yolk.
In the case of Amphioxus, its eggs have a moderate amount of yolk, which is evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm. Therefore, the correct answer is (d) mesolecithal.
