The answer is the first one: sexual reproduction.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Sexual reproduction: Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells. This process is essential for sexual reproduction because it ensures that when gametes (sperm and egg) combine during fertilization, the resulting offspring have the correct number of chromosomes.

  2. Binary fission: This is a form of asexual reproduction commonly found in prokaryotes, such as bacteria. It involves the division of a single organism into two genetically identical daughter cells. Meiosis is not involved in binary fission.

  3. Asexual reproduction: This type of reproduction involves a single organism producing offspring without the involvement of gametes. Examples include binary fission, budding, and vegetative propagation. Meiosis is not associated with asexual reproduction, as it is specifically involved in the production of gametes for sexual reproduction.

Summary: Meiosis is associated with sexual reproduction.
