Solution

The correct option is C Amoeba
Binary fission is an asexual mode of reproduction in which a cell splits into two daughter cells. This mode of reproduction is seen in Amoeba, Leishmania, and also in bacteria. Rhizopus reproduces through spore formation, Hydra through budding, and Plasmodium through multiple fission.
