Solution
The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect and Reason are correct Ascomycota is a division or phylum of the kingdom Fungi. Its members are commonly known as the sac fungi or ascomycetes. The defining feature of this fungal group is the "ascus", a microscopic sexual structure in which nonmotile spores, called ascospores, are formed. They are asexual, meaning that they do not have a sexual cycle and thus do not form asci or ascospores.
Whereas, An ascospore is a spore contained in an ascus or that was produced inside an ascus.
So, the correct answer is ' Assertion is incorrect and the reason is correct'.
