B Correct answer
Explanation

Multiple fission involves one parent dividing into many daughter cells simultaneously. Plasmodium, the malaria parasite, reproduces by multiple fission called schizogony in its human host. Amoeba typically uses binary fission (splits into two), not multiple fission. Hydra reproduces by budding, and humans by sexual reproduction.
