C Correct answer
Explanation

Amoeba reproduces by multiple fission (sporulation) during unfavorable conditions, forming a protective cyst and producing many amoebulae. Binary fission occurs during favorable conditions. Conjugation is a ciliate protozoan process, not amoeboid. Budding occurs in organisms like Hydra and yeast.
