Solution

The correct option is D Basidiomycetes
  • A clamp connection is a structure formed by growing hyphal cells of certain fungi.
  • It ensures that each cell or segment of hypha receives a set of differing nuclei, which are obtained through mating of hyphae of differing sexual types.
  • It helps to creates genetic variation in sexually reproducing species.
  • This is unique to Basidiomycota. This feature is used as an identification tool for this phylum.
  • Thus, the correct answer is option D.
