Solution

The correct option is B Euglena
Binary fission is the primary method of reproduction of prokaryotic organisms. In protists, binary fission is often differentiated into types, such as transverse or longitudinal, depending on the axis of cell separation. Longitudinal binary fission is seen only in Euglena. Planaria, Amoeba and Paramecium undergo transverse binary fission.
