The correct option is D Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation for A.
Amoeba reproduces by the process of binary fission under favorable conditions. Here the parent body divides into two equal and similar halves. Each half forms a new individual. During the process, first the nucleus of the parent divides into two nuclei. This is followed by the division of the body into two halves and each half receives a nucleus.
