A

Microscopic organisms

B

C

Unicellular organisms

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Majority of single - celled organisms reproduces by binary fission (e.g., Amoeba, Paramecium), where a cell divides into two halves and each rapidly grows into an adult.
In yeast, the division is unqual and small buds are produced that remain attached initially to the parent cell which eventually gets separated and mature into new yeast organism (cells). Hydra also reproduces by budding.
