The correct response is:
**It produces offspring with a mix of genetic traits.**
Sexual reproduction combines the genetic material from two parents, leading to offspring with diverse genetic traits. This genetic variation is essential for evolution, as it allows populations to adapt to changing environments and increases the chances of survival.
