Correct Answer: reproduce on its own.


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The pronoun its is singular, but bacteria is a plural noun, so the pronoun must also be plural to agree in number. Their is the appropriate pronoun to use in this context to maintain the subject-verb agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can reproduce on their own.
