• Members of Rhizopus belong to a large group of fungi called Zygomycetes, true fungi with well-developed mycelium with chitin in their cell walls.
• Penicillium, bluish-colored molds growing on bread, fruits, and cheeses and belongs to Ascomycetes as they produce spores within their sac-like or bag - like caps.
• Ustilago belongs to the fungal class Basidiomycetes and causes smut disease in maize.
• Alternaria belongs to a division of the fungi called the Deuteromycota. The word means "neuter fungi" and they are called this because they have no sexual spore stage (meiospores).
  

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
