Explanation

Cyanobacteria primarily reproduce through binary fission, a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Unlike mitosis and meiosis, which are typical in eukaryotic cells, binary fission is common in prokaryotes like cyanobacteria. Conjugation is a form of genetic exchange, not reproduction, and budding is not characteristic of cyanobacteria.
