Solution

The correct option is B Ascospore
Penicillium reproduces sexually by forming ascospores produced in stromata, and the gametophytic body develops from ascospores.
Zygospore is the result of sexual reproduction in rhizopus.
Cleistothecium is a closed fruiting body found in ascomycetes and releases spores only by disintegration.
Parthenospore is a thick-walled resting spore of certain algae.
The correct answer is B.
