Solution

The correct option is B Vorticella
Binary fission is an asexual mode of reproduction in which the bacteria divides into two equal halves. The process starts with the duplication of genetic contents of a parent cell by the process of replication.
When the binary fission takes place along the longitudinal plane it is known as longitudinal binary fission. Vorticella is a genus of various single-cell eukaryotic organisms, that are also called protozoa. It is found near freshwater bodies like ponds, lakes and streams. It divides by longitudinal binary fission.
So, the correct answer is option B.
