Conjugation.
Explanation: The diagram shows a pilus/bridge connecting two bacteria and DNA being transferred directly from one cell to the other — the hallmark of bacterial conjugation (plasmid/F-factor transfer). Transformation is uptake of free DNA, transduction uses a bacteriophage, and binary fission is cell division.
