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.
