Question
Which method of asexual reproduction involves specialized cells that can withstand harsh conditions?
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Sporulation involves the formation of spores—single-celled, often dehydrated, and highly resistant structures that can survive extreme conditions (heat, drought, lack of nutrients) and germinate when conditions become favorable.
Hint
Spores are dispersal and survival units common in fungi, plants, and some bacteria.
