Solution

The correct option is D

In budding, the daughter cell is smaller than the parent while in binary fission two equally sized daughters are produced.


In budding, the parent cell grows a bud which develops into a new individual. This daughter separates from the parent and is smaller than the parent.

In binary fission however, the parent splits into equal sized daughter cells.
