A
binary fission
B
budding
C
regeneration
D
parthenogenesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. The type of asexual reproduction is budding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Regeneration is a type of asexual reproduction in which the organism is capable of regrowing certain body parts. Regeneration occurs via mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Budding. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction that results from the outgrowth of a part of a cell or body region leading to a separation from the original organism into two individuals. Budding occurs commonly in some invertebrate animals such as corals and hydras.

Detailed explanation-4: -The common asexual method of reproduction by hydras is budding. Buds originate at the junction of the stalk and gastric regions. The bud begins as a hemispherical outpouching that eventually elongates, becomes cylindrical, and develops tentacles. The bud then pinches off and a new individual becomes independent.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction in starfish takes place by fission or through autotomy of arms. In fission, the central disc breaks into two pieces and each portion then regenerates the missing parts.
