Solution

The correct option is B Oblique
  • Oblique binary fission is used by organisms in the genus Ceratium (marine dinoflagellates) where the separation occurs obliquely or on a slant. Oblique binary fission is a kind of asexual reproduction in which plane is divided obliquely resulting in the formation of two unequal daughter cells.
  • Longitudinal binary fission occurs in Euglena, etc.
  • Transverse binary fission occurs in Paramecium, etc.
  • Irregular binary fission occurs in Amoeba protus, etc.
So, option C is the correct option.
