Soln:

Spirogyra reproduces by the process of fragmentation which is a type of asexual reproduction. It breaks up the filaments into smaller pieces upon maturation and these pieces are known as fragments that grow into new individuals. So, the correct answer is (a) breaking up filaments into smaller bits.
