Bacteria reproduce quickly by
A
binary fission
B
budding
C
meiosis
D
regeneration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Bacteria reproduce quickly because they each have just one chromosome but can have many copies of it. These chromosomes have all the instructions they need to survive and reproduce. In order for them to grow, they copy their DNA. This process is known as binary fission and means that one cell splits into two cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Binary fission occurs primarily in prokaryotes (bacteria), while mitosis only occurs in eukaryotes (e.g., plant and animal cells). Binary fission is a simpler and faster process than mitosis.
