Solution

The correct option is C Binary fission
In binary fission, parent cell divides into two equal halves called daughter cells. Daughter cells are identical to each other and to their parent cell. Organisms like the amoeba, bacteria, euglena, etc. exhibit binary fission. During multiple fission, the organism divides itself into numerous daughter cells.
So, B is the correct option.
