Asexual reproduction takes place through budding in
(a) amoeba.
(b) yeast.
(c) plasmodium.

Yeast
Yeast is a unicellular fungi and reproduces asexually by the formation of spores. During the process of budding, the parent cell produces a small bud which grows in size. Then, the parent cell nucleus divides and the daughter nuclei goes in the bud. And then the bud gets detached and grow separately like a new individual on the substratum.
