Solution

The correct option is A Fission
In bateria, both type of reproduction takes place, asexual and sexual. Sexual reproduction involves transformation, conjugation and transduction. Asexual reproduction involves binary fission, budding and fragmentation. Out of all these, binary fission is the most common mode of reproduction. In this, cytoplasm and nuclear material divide equally into two. The cell wall and cytoplasm split and results in the formation of two daughter cells.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Fission.'
