C Correct answer
Explanation

Budding is characterized by a new individual developing as an outgrowth on the parent body, receiving nutrition directly from the parent until it matures and detaches. Regeneration involves regrowing lost parts, spore formation releases reproductive units, and fission splits the parent - none involve growth on the parent body.
