A Correct answer
Explanation

Some cells split via budding (for example baker yeast), resulting in a 'mother' and 'daughter' cell. The offspring organism is smaller than the parent. Budding is also known on a multicellular level; an animal example is the hydra which reproduces by budding. The buds grow into fully matured individuals which eventually break away from the parent organism.
