Solution

The correct option is D Reduction division
  • Alternation of generation can happen only with the occurrence of meiosis, as present in several plant species, which have diploid or haploid gametophyte and sporophyte phase.
  • For this reason, such reduction division (meiosis) is absent in E.coli. Hence, it also lacks the alternation of generation.
  • So, the answer is 'reduction division'.
