Solution

The correct option is B Budding
Reproduction by budding takes place in Hydra during favorable conditions. Buds develop from the sides of the body at the junction of stalk and gastric region. The outgrowth increases in size and at its distal end tentacles develop. Mouth apertures form in tentacles. This process leads to the formation of daughter Hydra who is attached to the parent Hydra. After this, daughter Hydra sheds off from the parent Hydra.
