Solution

The correct option is A Amitosis
Amitosis is the simplest form of cell replication. It happens by simple cleavage of nucleus and cytoplasm without spindle formation or appearance of chromosomes. While in mitosis, the cell undergoes many stages involving compaction of chromosomes, their alignment, separation and decondensation. Meiosis is also a complicated cell division which happens in gamete cells of sexually reproducing organisms. Whereas conjugation is a term used to refer transfer of genetic material in bacterium through direct contact.
So, the correct answer is 'Amitosis'.
