Solution
The correct option is C conidiospore In ascomycetes, a conidiospore/conidia is formed during the asexual reproduction.
Gametangia are gamete producing structures.
Conidiophores are stalk like structures formed during the asexual reproduction of some fungal members bearing the conidia which bear the conidiospores.
Endospores are structures that are formed within the cells during unfavourable conditions in some bacteria.
