Asexual reproduction requires two parents and produces identical offspring, while sexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces non-identical offspring.

Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces identical offspring, while sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces non-identical offspring.

Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces non-identical offspring, while sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces identical offspring.

Explanation

Asexual reproduction involves one parent and usually produces offspring genetically identical to that parent. Sexual reproduction combines genetic material from two parents, creating offspring with genetic differences. Therefore, choice C correctly describes the main differences.
