Solution

The correct option is B Binary fission
In binary fission, a cell divides into two halves and each rapidly grows into an adult (e.g., Amoeba).
Budding, vegetative propagation and spore formation are other types of asexual reproduction. Though, they work differently from binary fission.
So, the correct answer is 'Binary fission'.
