Solution
The correct option is ASpirogyra
Fragmentation in multicellular organisms is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism is split into fragments. Each of these fragments develops into matured, fully grown individuals that are identical to their parents.
Fragmentation is a common method of multiplication in the green filamentous alga, Spirogyra. Spirogyra is a genus of filamentous charophyte green algae.
