Solution

The correct option is C Common, algae, fungi
Asexual reproduction is a common method of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single parent and inherit the genes of that parent only. An important form of fission (a type of asexual reproduction) is binary fission, where the parent organism is replaced by two daughter organisms. Only prokaryotes (the archaea and the bacteria) reproduce asexually through binary fission. Eukaryotes (unicellular fungi) may reproduce in a functionally similar manner by mitosis. Multiple fission at the cellular level occurs in many protists, e.g. algae. The nucleus of the parent cell divides several times by mitosis, producing several nuclei. The cytoplasm then separates, creating multiple daughter cells.
Thus, the correct option is 'Common, algae, fungi.'
