The correct option is B
DNA replication ----->karyokinesis ----->cytokinesis

Binary fission in bacterium or any unicellular organism is a asexual mode of reproduction. It starts with DNA replication or copying followed by its division [karyokinesis]. Towards the end, cytoplasm divides [cytokinesis] and gives rise to two daughter cells.
