Solution

The correct option is A Hydra
Hydra is an aquatic animal that reproduces both sexually and asexually. When plenty of food is available Hydra undergoes an asexual mode of reproduction by producing a small outgrowth called 'bud' on its body. This type of asexual reproduction is called budding. The bud stays attached to the parent body and keeps growing. Once this bud matures, it breaks off from the parent body and grows individually as a new individual.
Amoeba and Paramecium undergo fission, where the parent cell splits into two daughter cells.
Plasmodium exhibits multiple fission, where many daughter cells are produced.
So, the correct answer is option A.
