Through what process do the cells of a human body reproduce?

  1. Direct division

  2. Binary fission

  3. Indirect division

  4. Mitosis

The correct answer is: Indirect division

Human cells reproduce through a process called mitosis. Mitosis is a type of indirect division, which means that the cells divide into two new daughter cells containing the same genetic information as the parent cell. Option A, direct division, is not a process that occurs in human cells. Option B, binary fission, is a process that occurs in prokaryotic cells like bacteria, not in human cells. Option D, mitosis, is a correct answer but is more specific than option C, indirect division. Therefore, option C is the best and most accurate answer for this question.
