The statement which is true regarding asexual reproduction is the last one, which says that the offspring are clones of the parents. This is because this process only takes part the genetic pool from one parent, not from two, as occurs in sexual reproduction. Here (in asexual reproduction), the process that occurs is mitosis, that is a replication of the parent information, and it's found in organisms like bacteria (by binary fission), and only in a few animals, as geckos, that reproduce themselves without a mate by parthenogenesis.
