The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Binary Fission**: Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where an organism divides into two equal parts. This process is common in unicellular organisms. 2. **Identifying the Organisms**: The question provides four options: A. Yeast, B. Bacteria, C. Marchantia, and D. Mosses. We need to determine which of these organisms commonly reproduce through binary fission. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **A. Yeast**: Yeast typically reproduces by budding, not binary fission. - **B. Bacteria**: Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells after duplicating its genetic material. - **C. Marchantia**: Marchantia is a type of liverwort that reproduces sexually and asexually through structures called gemmae, not binary fission. - **D. Mosses**: Mosses also reproduce sexually and asexually, but not through binary fission. 4. **Conclusion**: Since binary fission is a regular mode of multiplication in bacteria, the correct answer is option B. **Final Answer**: B. Bacteria ---
