Solution

The correct option is C Zygomycetes
Gametangial copulation is a characteristic fertilization in fungi, wherein the entire contents of the contacting gametangia fuse together and this happens in two ways -
1. Passage of contents of one gametangium into another through a pore and is the characteristic of some holocarpic forms.
2. Direct fusion of the gametangial cells into a single one, which occurs due to the dissolution of the contacting walls and results in a common cell. It is common in class of zygomycetes.
