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 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 a few spores which made her sneeze.
