Answer:

The right answer is C) cell division that produces two daughter cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of binary fissiĆ³n refers to a process of asexual repoduction that is proper from Bacteria and Archaea. It strats with a cell in which DNA replication take place. After that, division of citoplasm (cytocinesis) occurs giving rise to two identical daughter cells.
