Answer:

Gemmulation and fragmentation are both a type of asexual reproduction. Gemmulation starts when mass of cell which is produced asexually that are capable of producing a new organism.  

These mass of cells gets surrounded by a protective covering which provide a resistant layer of cell and the structure is called gemmule.

In fragmentation, the parent body part breaks from the whole body and gives rise to a new organism. For example in planaria. So the correct answer is d.
