Solution

The correct option is B binary fission
Prokaryotes have a simple cellular structure and hence can undergo cell division by the process of binary fission.
Eukaryotic have a more complex cell structure due to compartmentalisation of organelles and therefore they need a more complex process like mitosis to undergo cell division.
