• B. Cell division at many sites
• C. Cell division in the lower corner
• D. No cell division

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Cell division at one specific site

Buddingis a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. The new organism remains attached as it grows, separating from the parent organism only when it is mature. Since the reproduction is asexual, the newly created organism is a clone and is genetically identical to the parent organism.
