Answer:

C. The organism undergoes binary fission and creates genetically identical offspring

Step-by-step explanation:

This because binary fission is the means of reproduction in prokaryotic organisms like bacteria. This refer to the process where a single cell divided into two or more and each looking more exactly like the parent cell..

the process of binary fission, a particular parent cell replicate its genetic material or DNA and then divides into two parts by a process called cytokinesis and each new organism produced then receive one copy of DNA. This occur in bacteria
