Answer: C. Fission

Step-by-step explanation:

The binary fission is the correct option. This is because of the fact that the binary fission is the process of asexual reproduction that occurs in prokayotes like bacteria. It also occurs in the single celled eukaryotic organisms like yeast, amoeba and paramoecium. In this process the single parent cell divided into two daughter cells. The genetic material of the parent cell get split and equally distributed to the two daughter cells.

Yeast cells such as Saccharomyces pombe performs asexual reproduction or the formation of daughter cells through fission. Fission involves dividing the mother cell into daughter cells through division of its cell wall, then its nuclear materials
