Bacteria, protists and single celled organisms reproduce using . . .
A
Vegetative Reproduction
B
Budding
C
Binary Fission
D
Fragmentation
E
Regeneration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Binary fission is the main method of reproduction for bacteria such as Escherichia coli. However, it is also used in protists such as paramecium and amoebas. Binary fission is also the type of division that is used to reproduce organelles within eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protists reproduce asexually by binary fission, which can lead to rapid population growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most bacteria rely on binary fission for propagation. Conceptually this is a simple process; a cell just needs to grow to twice its starting size and then split in two.

Detailed explanation-4: -Amoeba Reproduction-Binary Fission in Amoeba Amoeba is a unicellular organism, and just like bacteria, it reproduces through binary fission.

Detailed explanation-5: -Binary Fission – It is a common and simple method of asexual reproduction in bacteria. In this process of asexual reproduction, the parent cell divides into two, leading to two equal-sized daughter cells. Under favourable conditions, bacteria multiply rapidly and may double in 10-15 minutes.
