Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Correct Matching. 
A (Syngamy): This term refers to the fusion of two gametes. Since it generally implies the fusion of a male and a female gamete, it matches with IV (Fusion of two gametes).
B (Fusion of similar gametes): This is the definition of Isogamy, where gametes are similar in form and function, matching with I (Isogamy).
C (Anisogamy): This term refers to the fusion of dissimilar gametes, typically differing in size and sometimes in function, which aligns with II (Fusion of dissimilar gametes).
D (Fusion of two mature organisms): This is a less common form, matching with III (Hologamy), where entire organisms may fuse or merge.
