Solution

The correct options are
B It produces a number of daughter individuals.
C $P l a s m o d i u m$ reproduces through multiple fission.
In multiple fission, a single parent cell divides into many daughter cells simultaneously. The nucleus of the parent body divides repeatedly. The process is seen in Plasmodium. On the other hand, in binary fission the parent organism divides to form two daughter individuals. The nucleus of the parent body divides only once. E.g. Leishmania.
