Solution

The correct option is B Binary fission
Binary fission is the process of asexual reproduction in which the parent cell divides to form daughter cells. The nucleus divides and then the cells divide to produce two cells. These daughter cells are produced from the single parent and contain the exact copy of genes as the mother cell. So, they are considered as the clones which are genetically similar cells. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
