Solution
The correct option is B None of the above In fungi, the sporocarp (also known as fruiting body or fruit body) is a multicellular structure on which spore-producing structures, such as basidia or asci, are borne.
An ascocarp, or ascoma (plural: ascomata), is the fruiting body (sporocarp) of an ascomycete phylum fungus. It consists of very tightly interwoven hyphae and may contain millions of asci, each of which typically contains four to eight ascospores.
Rust, smut and mushroom belong to basidiomycetes and are true fungi. They all bear sporocarp. but rust and smut dont have fruiting bodies.
