The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Asexual Reproduction**: Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes. In this process, a single organism can reproduce on its own, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. 2. **Identifying the Organisms**: The question provides four options: Cat, Amoeba, Hens, and Humans. We need to identify which of these organisms reproduce asexually. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Cat**: Cats are mammals that reproduce sexually, involving the fusion of male and female gametes. - **Amoeba**: Amoebas are single-celled organisms that reproduce asexually through a process called binary fission. - **Hens**: Hens are birds that also reproduce sexually, laying eggs that require fertilization. - **Humans**: Humans reproduce sexually, involving the combination of male and female gametes. 4. **Conclusion**: Among the given options, only Amoeba reproduces asexually. It divides by binary fission, resulting in two identical daughter cells. 5. **Final Answer**: Organisms such as **Amoeba** reproduce asexually. ---
