Solution

The correct option is C Metagenesis
Cnidarians reproduce asexually via budding (especially among Hydrozoa). Cnidarians can also reproduce sexually. A characteristic here is the alternation of generations, in which asexually reproducing generations alternate with generations that reproduce sexually. This particular form of an alternation of generation is known as metagenesis.
