Solution

The correct option is B Binary fission
The organism Mycoplasma was earlier known as pleuropneumonia-like organisms (PPLO). These are the prokaryotic organisms which can perform asexual reproduction through binary fission. The parent cell divides to form two daughter cells. The other method is by the formation of elementary bodies which forms the corpuscles which are arranged in a chain.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
