The correct option is D

basidiomycetes


Clamp connections’ are observed, in Basidiomycetes (club fungi), During nuclear divisions of the dikaryotic cells, special structures called the clamp connections are formed. These clamp connections ensure that the sister nuclei of the dikaryon, at each division, separate into daughter cells.

In zygomycetes, the zygospore germinates to produce a hypha the promycelium with the terminal sporangium.

In Oomycetes, the hyphal wall chiefly consists of β glucans and cellulose and not chitin. The mycelium is extensive and coenocytic. In Ascomycetes, the spore of sexual stage (meiospores) which are known as the ascospores are endogenous in origin. They are produced within the sac-like structures called asci which vary in shape.
