Solution

The correct option is C

Cutting


In asexual reproduction, the planaria detaches its tail end and each half re-grows the lost parts by regeneration, allowing neoblasts (adult stem cells) to divide and differentiate, thus resulting in two worms. Some species of planaria are exclusively asexual, whereas some can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
