The correct option is B It occurs under favourable conditions.
Fission is an asexual mode of reproduction that occurs in unicellular organisms such as Amoeba, Paramoecium and Plasmodium. It is of two types- binary fission and multiple fission.In Plasmodium, multiple fission occurs which gives rise to multiple daughter cells and it occurs during favourable conditions only.
