Solution
The correct option is B Ascomycetes
Genus Aspergillus and Claviceps belong to Ascomycetes. Its members are commonly known as the sac fungi. They are the largest phylum of fungi, with over 64,000 species. The defining feature of this fungal group is the "ascus", a microscopic sexual structure in which non-motile spores, called as ascospores, are formed. However, some species of the Ascomycota are asexual, meaning that they do not have a sexual cycle and thus, do not form asci or ascospores.Thus, the correct answer is option B.
