The type of reproduction in which offspring form on the surface of the parent is called budding.

The correct answer is budding. In this type of reproduction, offspring form as outgrowths or buds on the surface of the parent organism. To determine the correct answer, you can review the different types of asexual reproduction and their defining characteristics. Fragmentation involves breaking the body of an organism into pieces, each of which can grow into a new organism. Binary fission is a process by which a single-celled organism divides into two identical daughter cells. Vegetative reproduction refers to the production of new plants from vegetative parts, such as stems or roots, without the involvement of seeds. After considering these options, you will find that budding is the type of reproduction where offspring form on the surface of the parent organism.
