Solution

The correct option is B Binary fission
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction which produces offspring which are identical to the parent cell. This mainly involves a single parent. The haploid cells of parent undergo mitotic divisions which produce an identical cell with the same number of chromosomes as that of a parent cell.
Binary fission is a most common method of asexual reproduction which starts with the replication of genetic material which is followed by cytokinesis. A furrow is formed in the cell membrane which deepens and finally converges to separate the two daughter cell. Example- Amoeba.
