Binary fission
B
Budding
C
Binary fusion
D
Meiosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -4. Which of the following division technique is similar in mitochondria and bacteria? Explanation: Mitochondria are semi-self-ruling organelle and separation by binary fission simply like bacteria.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria can divide by prokaryotic binary fission and since they require mitochondrial DNA for their function, fission is coordinated with DNA replication. Some of the proteins that are involved in mitochondrial fission have been identified and some of them are associated with mitochondrial diseases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Binary fission is similar to mitosis in the way that the process ultimately leads to the production of two identical daughter cells. However, they differ in many aspects. While binary fission is for reproductive purposes mitosis is primarily for growth in multicellular organisms.
