Solution

The correct option is B Rhizopus
Heterothallism is observed in Rhizopus. Heterothallism is the condition in which formation of sexual spores takes place when two genetically different mating types, (+) and (-), are allowed to interact. Heterothallic fungi require two compatible partners to produce sexual spores.
