Solution

The correct option is D cyst
Cyst is a protective covering formed by some unicellular organisms during adverse conditions. The organism continues performing its life processes inside the cyst. Multiple fission usually occurs during such unfavourable conditions. This results in multiple number of daughter cells. When conditions become more favourable, the cyst breaks and daughter cells are released.
