Solution

The correct option is B sterigmata
In Penicillium, the conidiospores/conidia are produced exogenously on structures called sterigmata. The sterigmata are considered to be the fertile structures found on the conidiophores.

The metulae are the structures which bear the sterigmata.
Paraphyses are fertile filaments found between the reproductive organs in fungi.
