Solution

The correct option is C Multiple fission
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction and cell division where the cell divides into two separate cells.
Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site.
Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism is split into fragments.
Multiple fission is the process where the nucleus divides into a number of daughter nuclei followed by the division of the cell body into an equal number of parts. This kind of division takes place in Plasmodium.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C), 'Multiple fission'
