Which organism produces offspring with the most diverse characteristics using the method of reproduction shown in the chart?
A. The frog, because sexual reproduction results in offspring with traits from both parents.
B. The honeybee, because offspring from unfertilized eggs have twice as many genes as offspring from fertilized eggs.
C. The planarian, because each of the pieces that becomes a new offspring has different genetic information.
D. The strawberry, because using stems to develop new plants produces a great number of offspring quickly.

The correct answer is A. The frog, because sexual reproduction results in offspring with traits from both parents.
Explanation: Sexual reproduction involves the combination of genetic material from two parents, leading to offspring that exhibit a variety of traits. This genetic mixing enhances diversity, allowing for a broader range of characteristics among the offspring compared to asexual reproduction methods.
