Solution

The correct option is A Rhizopus
Motile sperms are absent in Rhizopus. In Rhizopus, gametangial copulation takes place. The terminal part of sub aerial hyphae acts as coenogametes which fuse to form a diploid zygote and then a resting spore called as zygospore. It contains several diploid nuclei with reserve material. It undergoes meiosis to form spores which on germination give rise to new mycelium.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
