Solution

The correct option is A Fission
Bacteria reproduce through a process called binary fission. During binary fission, the chromosome copies itself, forming two genetically identical copies. Then, the cell enlarges and divides into two new daughter cells. Each daughter cell receives one copy of the replicated chromosome. The two daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.
