Option D —
Paramecium
Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a single organism divides into two halves. The direction or plane in which this division happens varies by organism:Transverse Binary Fission (Paramecium): The body of the cell divides along its shorter, transverse (horizontal) axis, splitting the organism into a top half and a bottom half.
Longitudinal Binary Fission (Euglena): The cell divides vertically along its long axis, splitting from top to bottom.
Irregular Binary Fission (Amoeba): Because an amoeba has an irregular shape and no fixed axis, division can happen along any plane.
Multiple Fission (Plasmodium): Plasmodium does not undergo binary fission; instead, it undergoes multiple fission, where the nucleus divides many times to create multiple daughter cells at once.
