Solution

The correct option is C Zygomycetes
Direct fusion of certain fungal gametangia without differentiation of the gametes is called gametangial copulation. Sexual reproduction is by gametangial copulation and complete fusion of protoplasts of two gametangia results in the formation of a zygospore. It is a characteristic feature of Zygomycetes.
So, the correct answer is option B.
