Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

The zoospores are special kind of motile and flagellated spores produced inside the zoosporangia. They are generally naked (without cell wall). The flagella helps to swim in aquatic habitats for proper dispersal. The reproduction by zoospores occurs in some lower fungi phycomycetes e.g., Albugo, Phytophthora, etc. and some algae (e.g., Chlamydomonas, Ulothrix). So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'.
