Solution
The correct option is C Reproduction
Mycoplasma is a single-celled, prokaryotic organism. It reproduces asexually through binary fission by the production of elementary bodies. They divide unequally into small bodies called the elementary body. These structures germinate, form branching filament which gets transformed into the chain of round cells. These corpuscles undergo fragmentation to give rise to new elementary bodies.Thus, the correct answer is option C.
