Solution

The correct option is A Chlamydomonas
Zoospores are flagellated asexual spores produced in chlorophyceae. They are biflagellate in Chlamydomonas, bi or quadri-flagellated in Ulothrix and multi flagellated in Oedogonium. They help in rapid reproduction under favourable environmental conditions.
Penicillium reproduces asexually by means of non-motile spores called conidia born on erect aerial hyphae called conidiophores.
Bacterial spores are covered by thick and tough covering which are resistant to extreme environmental conditions.
Amoeba reproduces asexually by binary fission or multiple fission.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
