Solution

The correct option is B

Conidia


Conidia (or sporangiospores or zoospores) are a type of asexual reproductive spore of fungi (kingdom Fungi) usually produced at the tip or side of hyphae or on special spore-producing structures called conidiophores. The spores detach when mature. Oospores, ascospores, and basidiospores are sexual spores in specific groups of fungi.
