The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Amoeba**: - Amoeba is a unicellular organism, meaning it consists of only one cell. 2. **Reproduction in Favorable Conditions**: - During favorable conditions, Amoeba primarily reproduces asexually. 3. **Binary Fission**: - The process of reproduction that Amoeba uses under favorable conditions is called Binary Fission. This is a method where one parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells. 4. **Process of Binary Fission**: - In Binary Fission, the following steps occur: - **Nuclear Elongation**: The nucleus of the Amoeba elongates. - **Formation of Groove**: A groove begins to form in the cell membrane as the cell prepares to divide. - **Karyokinesis**: The nucleus divides, which is known as karyokinesis. - **Cytokinesis**: The cytoplasm also divides, leading to the formation of two separate daughter cells. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that during favorable conditions, Amoeba reproduces by **Binary Fission**.
