Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

E. coli reproduces asexually by the process of binary fission. In this process, single parent cell divides to give rise to two identical daughter cells.

As it is asexual reproduction the daughter cells contain genetic material identical to that of parent cell.

In addition, only single parent cell contributes the entire genetic material of the daughter cells.
