B: asexual reproduction. Meaning that reproduction can occur without a partner, mate or, with a living organism of the opposite gender. There are several species that are capable of asexual reproduction.

The best answer from these choices is B-asexual reproduction. However, pollen falling on the female part of the same flower is sexual reproduction, even though it's one parent organism.
Regeneration can be involved in asexual reproduction.

Well, I don't know what the offspring would be called (certainly not anything on that list) , but it would be caused by asexual reproduction, since in asexual reproduction there is only one parent, so you have only that gene set to pass along.

It's known to be a clone or exact copy of it's asexual gene donor. Occational mutations are known to occur over numerous generations but they're very rarely beneficial to the species survival and they often die before they can ensure the survival of their unique genetic material.
Sexually producing species have a greater rate of survival and success attributed in their "team behavior" and the remixing of genetic material allows for a greater rate of gradual change within the species (evolution). This allows for a greater variety of qualities and random variations within a general species, increasing the odds of at least partial adaptation to catastrophe and as a result, only such attributes favorable to the new conditions have a chance to be passed on to further generations of random intermixing.

The correct answer is b.) asexual reproduction.
Asexual reproduction can be either cloning, as in nuclei transfer, or, it can be by way of parthenogenesis -- the artificial activation of an unfertilized egg into development.
