a. binary fission
b. budding
c. sexually

Explanation:

• Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes (like bacteria).
• Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth (bud) on the parent organism (e.g., yeast, hydra).
• Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes (e.g., sperm and egg in animals; pollen and ovule in flowering plants).
• Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction in plants where new plants are produced from vegetative parts (e.g., roots, stems, leaves). A leaf - cutting is a vegetative part, and growing a plant from it is vegetative propagation.

D. vegetative propagation
