Solution

The correct option is A
Phycomycetes

Phycomycetes (algal fungi): Phycomycetes are called algal fungi (Phycus = alga) because of aquatic habitat and form of thallus. They have aseptate and coenocytic mycelium. Asexual reproduction occurs through zoospores and aplanospores produced in sporangia. These spores are endogenously produced in sporangium. A zygospore is formed by fusion of two gametes (syngamy). Sexual reproduction takes place by similar (isogamy) or dissimilar (anisogamy) or (oogamy) gametes, e.g., Rhizopus, Albugo, etc.
