Which method of asexual reproduction in fungi involves the parent cell producing one or more projections that later develop into necessary structures and detach to grow into new individuals?
Options
A Fragmentation
B Fission
C Budding
Correct Answer
D Sporulation
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Budding is a process where the parent cell produces one or more projections (buds) that grow and eventually detach to form new individuals, common in yeasts. Fragmentation involves breaking mycelium, fission is splitting, and sporulation is spore formation.
