Both result in offspring with a complete set of genetic material.
Both produce offspring that are genetically identical to the parents.
Both create offspring that are larger and healthier than the parents.

The correct option that describes a similarity between sexual and asexual reproduction is:
**Both result in offspring with a complete set of genetic material.**
In both types of reproduction, the offspring receive a complete set of genetic information, although the means by which that information is combined or inherited differ. The other options are inaccurate: only sexual reproduction typically involves DNA from two parents, asexual reproduction generally produces genetically identical offspring (clones), and there's no guarantee that offspring from either method are larger or healthier than the parents.
