A
coral

strawberries
C
bacteria
D
sea star
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes such as E. coli, Archaea as well as eukaryotes such as euglena reproduce through binary fission.

Detailed explanation-2: -Organisms in the domains of Archaea and Bacteria reproduce with binary fission. This form of asexual reproduction and cell division is also used by some organelles within eukaryotic organisms (e.g., mitochondria).

Detailed explanation-3: -Some sea anemones and some coral polyps also reproduce through fission. Figure 43.1B. 1: Fission: Coral polyps reproduce asexually by fission, where an organism splits into two separate organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacterial binary fission is the process that bacteria use to carry out cell division. Binary fission is similar in concept to the mitosis that happens in multicellular organisms (such as plants and animals), but its purpose is different.
