b. Plants and animals both can go through sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction wherein the fusion of male and female gametes produces zygote which in turn grows into an embryo. Both plants and animals can perform sexual reproduction. For instance, flowering plants produce male gametes in microsporangia and female gametes in megasporangia. The fusion of male and female gametes occurs in ovules. Animals produce male and female gametes in respective gonads. Humans produce sperms and egg cells in testes and ovaries respectively.
