Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding Asexual Reproduction**: Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction that involves only one parent organism. This process results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Common methods of asexual reproduction include binary fission, budding, and vegetative propagation. 2. **Identifying Organisms**: To determine where asexual reproduction is common, we need to analyze the options provided: - **Option A: Single-celled organisms** - Organisms like amoeba and bacteria are single-celled and reproduce asexually through binary fission. Therefore, this option is correct. - **Option B: Organisms having simple organization** - Simple organisms, including certain plants like bryophytes, also reproduce asexually. This option is also correct. - **Option C: Aquatic plants** - Many aquatic plants, such as water hyacinth, can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Hence, this option is also correct. - **Option D: More than one option is correct** - Since options A, B, and C are all correct, this option is also valid. 3. **Conclusion**: Since multiple options indicate that asexual reproduction is common in various organisms, the best answer is **Option D: More than one option is correct**. ---
