Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Regeneration is the ability of an organism to replace its lost or damaged body parts.
Hydra has great power of regeneration.
If a living Hydra is cut into two, three or more pieces, each missing part grows and becomes a complete animal.
Regeneration is not reproduction because it is not a normal method of reproduction.
