The correct answer is:
B

Binary fission is the primary and most common method of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes, such as bacteria and archaea. In this process, a single parent cell replicates its genetic material and divides into two genetically identical daughter cells of equal size. Under optimal conditions, this method allows for rapid, exponential population growth.
