    On the basis of distribution of yolk the eggs are of following types:
    (i) Homolecithal: Evenly distributed yolk.
    (ii) Telolecithal: Most of the yolk near the vegetal pole, cytoplasm and nucleus lie near animal pole.
    (iii) Centrolecithal: Centrally placed yolk surrounded by cytoplasm.

    Correct Option: B
