Solution

The correct option is C Multiple fission
In Plasmodium nucleus divides to produce many nuclei. These newly produced nuclei are then surrounded by cytoplasm resulting in the formation of daughter cells within the cyst. Hence many daughter cells are produced by multiple fission. Under favorable conditions, the cyst breaks open liberating these cells. Thus the correct answer is option C.
