The answer is A. Prokaryotic cells reproduce asexually using binary fission, while eukaryotic cells use mitosis to divide.

Prokaryotic cells produce only asexually using binary fission. However, eukaryotic cells are more complex and they use mitosis to divide. They divide only sexually, so binary fission is not an option for eukaryotic cells.
