The correct answer is "replicates." In binary fission, DNA from the parent cell replicates before it produces daughter cells. This means that the DNA molecule makes an exact copy of itself, resulting in two identical sets of DNA that can be distributed to the daughter cells. To arrive at this answer, you could have used your knowledge of the biological process of binary fission or searched for information on binary fission and the steps involved.
