Solution
The correct option is DHydra
Budding involves the development of a new organism from an outgrowth or bud.
In Hydra, first, a bud is formed on the side of its body by the repeated cell divisions. This bud then grows gradually to form a small Hydra by developing a mouth and tentacles.
At last, the new Hydra detaches itself from the body of the parent Hydra and lives as a separate organism.
