C Correct answer
Explanation

Buds grow on the parent body and gradually form a new individual. Hence, (3), i.e. budding, is correct. In fission and regeneration, new individuals separate out and there is no parent organism. In spore formation, spores develop on the parent body but they form new individuals after they fall on suitable substratum away from the parent body.
