Solution

The correct option is B Budding
Hydra reproduce asexually by producing buds in the body wall, which grow to be miniature adults and break away when they are mature. This process of reproduction is referred to as asexual reproduction. Since the reproduction is asexual, the newly created organism is a clone and is genetically identical to the parent organism.
So, the correct answer is 'Budding'.
