Type of asexual reproduction where the offspring grows out of the parent organism
A
vegetative propagation
B
binary fission
C
budding
D
regeneration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydras exhibit a form of asexual reproduction called budding. In this form of asexual reproduction, an offspring grows out of the body of the parent, then breaks off into a new individual.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Budding or blastogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. For example, the small bulb-like projection coming out from the yeast cell is known as a bud.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction includes fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis, while sexual reproduction is achieved through the combination of reproductive cells from two individuals.
