Solution

The correct option is D Binary fission
The oval-shaped nucleus indicates binary fission. Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction seen in bacteria and amoeba. In this method, the content of the cell divides into 2 equal halves forming 2 daughter cells. Before constriction from the center of the cell, the nucleus becomes oval-shaped. The oval-shaped nucleus indicates a dividing nucleus.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Binary fission.'
