Solution

The correct option is C Basidiomycetes
  • Basidiomycetes are one of two large divisions that, together with the Ascomycete, constitute the subkingdom Dikarya within the kingdom Fungi.
  • In basidiomycetes, the spores develop on projections that grow out from microscopic cells called basidia, rather than being enveloped within cells. In most cases, the basidia are elongated and club-like.
  • Doliopore septum is a characteristic of Basidiomycetes i.e Dolipore septa are specialized dividing walls between cells (septa) found in almost all species of fungi in the phylum Basidiomycota. Unlike most fungal septa, they have a barrel-shaped swelling around their central pore, which is about 0.1–0.2 µm wide.
  • Hence Doliopore septum is only characteristic of Basidiomycetes.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Basidiomycetes'.
