Solution

The correct option is C Gametagia

  • Rhizopus reproduces sexually by the process of conjugation, wherein different types of strains (bearing gametes in gametangia) come together and fuses to form zygospore.
  • On the other hand in Rhizopus, suspensor cells provide support to zygospore, progametangia are the developing gametangia and antheridia are the male and female sex organs of Rhizopus.
  • The correct answer is C.
