Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
Bacteria reproduce mainly by fission in which a bacterial cell divides into two daughter bacterial cells. Sometimes, under unfavourable conditions, they reproduce through spores. They also reproduce by a sort of sexual reproduction by adopting a primitive type of DNA transfer from one bacterium to the other by a method called transformation.
