star fish
B
hydra
C
bacteria
D
aspen tree
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Amoeba is a unicellular organism, and just like bacteria, it reproduces through binary fission. After replicating its genetic material through mitotic division, the cell divides into two equal-sized daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binary fission is an asexual mode of reproduction in which a cell splits into two daughter cells. This mode of reproduction is seen in Amoeba, Leishmania, and also in bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -The type of asexual reproduction in which a microorganism splits in two equal halves is called as binary fission, e.g., Amoeba.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. The two daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.
