Answer:

A. Prokaryotes like bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction (requiring only one organism, as opposed to sexual reproduction, which requires two) occurs when an organism itself splits into two - hence binary (bi- means two).

Binary fission occurs most often in prokaryotes; eukaryotes like plants and animals engage more in sexual reproduction because they are more complex.

The answer is thus A.
