The correct option is D None of the above
A dikaryon is a pair of associated but unfused haploid nuclei of a fungus cell capable of participating in repeated cell division as separate entities prior to their ultimate fusion. A dikaryon is formed when two haploid cells do not fuse immediately.
So, the correct answer is 'The two haploid cells do not fuse immediately'.
