Solution
The correct option is C zygospore
In Mucor, sexual reproduction takes place by gametangial conjugation which leads to the formation of zygospore. Gametangial conjugation is the direct fusion of certain fungal gametangia (gamete producing organs/cell) without differentiation of the gametes.
A zygospore is a diploid reproductive stage in the life cycle of many fungi formed by the fusion of haploid cells.
Zygospore Formation
An akinete is a resting or dormant cell formed by cyanobacteria to tide over unfavorable conditions.
Basidiospores are the spores formed during the sexual reproduction in basidiomycetes.
Zoospores are flagellated spores formed during asexual reproduction in many members of the fungi.
