Solution

The correct option is B Bread mould, spores of bread mould.
A common fungus, called bread mould was growing on the piece of bread which had given it a black colour. 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.
