Solution
The correct option is B Spirogyra - fragmentation Fragementation is the method of asexual reproduction wherein the organism breaks its body into fragements and each fragment develops into a new organism. This type of asexual reproduction is seen in Spirogyra, flatworms .
Hydra reproduce asexually by the process of budding. In Hydra an outgrowth called develops on the parent body. The bud remains attached to the parent body. It develops into an adult and detaches from the parent body.
Amoeba reproduce by binary fission. Amoeba divides into two daughter cells of approximately equal size and each rapidly grows into an adult amoeba.
Penicillium reproduce by asexual reproductive structures called conidia which are exogenously produced and they are non-motile structures.
