Budding is the type of cell reproduction in which a small, new cell develops from the surface of an existing cell and then separates from the parent cell. This is the normal mode of replication in yeast. Therefore, option D ("budding, yeast") is the correct answer. Option A ("binary fission, bacteria") is incorrect because binary fission involves the division of a single cell into two identical daughter cells, which is the normal mode of replication in bacteria. Option B ("binary fission, yeast") is incorrect because yeast does not reproduce through binary fission. Option C ("budding, bacteria") is also incorrect because although some bacteria can reproduce through budding, binary fission is the primary mode of replication in bacteria.
