Solution

The correct option is A Two
Binary fission is the process of division of parent cell into two daughter cells of equal size. During binary fission, the cell elongates and its nucleus divides into two daughter nuclei. Then the cell divides into two, each cell receives a nucleus.
So, the correct answer is 'Two'.
