Solution
The correct option is D All of these Cell division is the process in which a parent cell divides, giving rise to two or more daughter cells. It is an essential biological process in many organisms. It is the means used by multicellular organisms in order to grow, replenish (repair), and reproduce. In prokaryotes (which are unicellular organisms), binary fission is the primary type of cell division. In unicellular eukaryotes, mitosis and meiosis are the forms of cell division. Cell division in multicellular organisms produces specialized reproductive cells, such as egg and sperm, and is also responsible for the development of a many-celled organism from a single fertilized egg cell. All organisms undergo organism or parent cell division.
