Answer:

The correct answer would be C. identical.

Bacteria divides into the two daughter cells through the process called binary fission that is, a type of asexual reproduction.

Thus, it does not involve the formation as well as fusion of gametes.

Before the cell division, the DNA of the bacteria gets doubled through mitotic division so that it can be divided equally into two daughter cells.

Thus, both the daughter cells get identical DNA.
