The ability of a cell to divide into several cells during reproduction in Plasmodium is called multiple fission.
Explanation: Multiple fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a single cell divides into many daughter cells.
Key points about the other options:
Budding:
In budding, a small part of the cell grows out and forms a new individual, like a bud on a plant. This is not the process observed in Plasmodium.
Reduction division:
This refers to meiosis, a cell division process that reduces the number of chromosomes in a cell by half. This is not related to the reproduction of Plasmodium.
Binary fission:
In binary fission, a cell divides into only two daughter cells. This is different from multiple fission, where the cell divides into many daughter cells.
