The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Organism**: Amoeba is a unicellular organism that belongs to the kingdom Protista. It has an irregular shape and is known for its ability to change form. 2. **Reproductive Methods**: There are several methods of reproduction in organisms, including binary fission, multiple fission, budding, and regeneration. 3. **Favorable Conditions**: Amoeba reproduces asexually when conditions are favorable. Favorable conditions typically include an adequate supply of water and food. 4. **Binary Fission**: Under favorable conditions, amoeba reproduces by binary fission. This is a process where the organism splits into two identical daughter cells. 5. **Process of Binary Fission**: - The nucleus of the amoeba begins to divide. - The cytoplasm starts to constrict, forming a notch. - Eventually, the amoeba splits into two daughter amoebae, each genetically identical to the parent. 6. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question "Reproduction in Amoeba is by:" is binary fission (Option 1). ---
