When an offspring grows off the body of the parent
A
regeneration
B
budding
C
binary fusion
D
sporulation
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. In most instances, the budding is restricted to certain specialized areas.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animal regeneration occurs when an offspring grows from a piece of its parent. Types of Asexual Reproduction (cont.) Vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction in which offspring grow from a part of a parent plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Budding is an asexual mode of producing new organisms. In this process, a new organism is developed from a small part of the parent’s body. A bud which is formed detaches to develop into a new organism. The newly developed organism remains attached as it grows further.

Detailed explanation-4: -Budding is a kind of asexual reproduction, which is most frequently related in both multicellular and unicellular organisms. Bacteria, yeast, corals, flatworms, jellyfish, and sea anemones are several animal species which reproduce through budding.

Detailed explanation-5: -Budding is a type of asexual reproduction where the new organism (offspring) grows as an outgrowth from the body of the parent. Here, the new individual starts growing as a small body on one side of the parent organism and continues growing in size while still attached to the parent.
