Process by which bacteria reproduce asexually
A
binary fission
B
transduction
C
transformation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria reproduce through a process called binary fission. During binary fission, the chromosome copies itself, forming two genetically identical copies. Then, the cell enlarges and divides into two new daughter cells. Each daughter cell receives one copy of the replicated chromosome.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Bacterial binary fission is similar in some ways to the mitosis that happens in humans and other eukaryotes. In both cases, chromosomes are copied and separated, and the cell divides its cytoplasm to form two new cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria reproduce primarily by binary fission, an asexual process whereby a single cell divides into two.
