Asexual reproduction takes place through budding in

Explanation

• Yeast reproduces asexually through a process called budding, where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud on the parent. This bud grows and eventually detaches to become an independent organism.
• In contrast, Amoeba reproduces asexually through binary fission, where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
• Plasmodium, the parasite responsible for malaria, reproduces asexually through multiple fission, producing several daughter cells from a single parent cell.
• Leishmania, the protozoan causing leishmaniasis, reproduces asexually through binary fission within its host cells. 

Therefore, among the options provided, budding as a form of asexual reproduction is characteristic of yeast.

The correct answer is b. Yeast.
