Soln:

Plasmodium divides into multiple daughter cells during cell division and this process is known as multiple fission. The process of plasmodium reproduction is known as binary multiple fission. In the process of multiple fission, the nucleus of the cell divides, multiple times by the process of mitosis and then separates, to create multiple daughter cells. Therefore, the correct answer is (d) multiple fission
