Solution

The correct option is B Bread mold, spores of bread mold.
A common fungus, called bread mold was growing on the piece of bread which had given it a black color. It had grown heavily and was in the stage of reproduction. Fungus reproduces by forming spores. So when Anuradha smelled the contents of the box, she inhaled few spores which made her sneeze.
