A
budding
B
binary fission
C
sporulation
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Amoeba reproduces asexually through binary fission. In this process, an individual divides itself into two daughter cells. These are genetically identical to each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -D. Correct-Cells produced through mitosis contain DNA identical to the parent cells, whereas meiosis produces cells that are haploid and often genetically different.

Detailed explanation-3: -What statement best describes the process of asexual reproduction? The clone is genetically identical to its parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -binary fission, asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies. In the process of binary fission, an organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.
