Solution

The correct option is D multiple fission
Plasmodium undergoes the reproduction by the process of multiple fission.
The nucleus of each Plasmodium cell repeatedly divides in this process to create a huge number of small nuclei. These nuclei absorb a little amount of cytoplasm and form a membrane around each structure, giving rise to daughter cells. All these cells are similar and identical in dimension.
