Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Agaricus, Aspergillus and Alternaria

• The fruiting bodies of fungi contain spores which are dispersed for reproduction.
• It is the binucleate mycelium that eventually forms the basidia- the stalked fruiting bodies in which nuclear fusion and meiosis take place prior to the formation of the basidiospore.
  
• Fungi usually reproduce both asexually and asexually.

So, the correct option is 'Agaricus, Aspergillus, and Alternaria'.
