Solution

The correct option is B In binary fission, the parent's identity is lost, while it is maintained in budding.
In budding there is an outgrowth from the parent individual producing a bud, which is identical to its parent individual, but in binary fission, there is no bud or outgrowth formation. It only results in two identical individuals by splitting the parent cell into two parts with mitotic cell division followed by cytokinesis.
