Solution

The correct option is A ascomycetes and basidiomycetes
In fungal phyla such as ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, karyogamy is delayed and occurs just before meiosis. In the stage intervening between plasmogamy and karyogamy, the cells often contain two nuclei or dikaryons (n + n). Such cells are called dikaryotic cells. The phase is known as dikaryophase.
