Solution

The correct options are
A In this process the parent organism divides into two daughter cells.
C Axis of division is different in different protists.
D It occurs in organisms like bacteria, amoeba, euglena, paramecium.
Binary fission is the process in which a parent cell devides into two daughter cells and occurs during favourable condition i.e when the abundant food is available.
This division is found in prokaryotes like bacteria and in some Protists like amoeba, euglena, paramecium.
Differnt protists show different axis of division i.e transverse binary fission in amoeba and the longitudinal binary fission in euglena.
