Solution

The correct option is D two daughter cells are formed

In binary fission, the axis of division can be longitudinal, transverse or oblique.

Generally, division of nucleus (karyokinesis) occurs first in binary fission, it is then followed by the division of cytoplasm (cytokinesis).

Also, no protrusion formation takes place in binary fission. Instead, it is a feature of budding.

It is true that two daughter cells are formed in binary fission. The parent cell divides into two daughter cells.
