Hydras are animals related to coral and jellyfish. Hydras can reproduce sexually or asexually. Why would hydras avoid reproducing asexually when conditions are difficult? (1 point)

Reproducing more slowly would be a good way to take advantage of plentiful resources.

The lack of genetic diversity could mean that all of the hydras die, depending on the situation.

The correct answer is vegetative reproduction. This form of reproduction involves the growth of offspring specifically from the stem or root of a plant. To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate the other options.
Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a portion of the parent organism develops into a new individual. This process typically occurs on the body of the parent organism, rather than specifically from the stem or root.
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction commonly found in single-celled organisms, where one cell divides into two equal-sized daughter cells. This process does not involve the growth from a stem or root.
Fragmentation is a method of reproduction where a part of an organism breaks off and develops into a new individual. While this can occur in some plants, it is not specific to the growth from a stem or root.
Therefore, the correct answer is vegetative reproduction, as it refers to the specific growth of offspring from the stem or root of a plant.
