Solution

The correct option is D 8
Ascus is the distinctive feature and fruiting body of Ascomycetes. It is a result of sexual reproduction. Their ascocarps remain underground until some animal digs up for food and scatter the ascospores while devouring the ascocarps. Ascus is usually an elongated sac like structure, which contain normally 8 ascospores.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
