Solution

The correct option is D
binary fission

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction seen in unicellular organisms. In this method, first the nucleus divides followed by cytoplasmic division. This forms two daughter cells from one parent cell. Therefore, Paramecium dividing itself to form two daughter cells represents binary fission.
