Ans. (c). Conjugation.

Protists are simple, eukaryotic organisms, in which sexual reproduction occurs by the process of conjugation.

During conjugation, transfer of genetic material takes place from a donor cell to recipient cell via a conjugation bridge. It makes a temporary union between two organisms for the exchange of DNA or genetic material.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
