Solution

The correct option is C dikaryon
During the sexual reproduction of some fungi like ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, the two compatible haploid hyphae fuse together and form an intervening dikaryotic stage which is represented by 'n + n' due to the presence of two nuclei before the fussion of nuclei. Such condition is called a dikaryon and the phase is called dikaryophase.
