Solution

The correct option is B Longitudinal binary fission
Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction most commonly seen in prokaryotes and some single-celled eukaryotes. Here the parent cell divides and forms two daughter cells.

When the plane of division is transverse, it is transverse binary fission. If the plane of division is longitudinal then it is longitudinal binary fission and if random division takes place it is said to be irregular.

Multiple fission leads to the division of the parent nucleus into several daughter nuclei mitotically without cell division.

Euglena reproduce asexually by longitudinal binary fission.
