Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Zygomycetes

The Zygomycota, or conjugation fungi, include molds, such as those that invade bread and other food products. The identifying characteristics of the Zygomycota are the formation of a zygospore during sexual reproduction and the lack of hyphal cell walls except in reproductive structures.

So, the correct option is 'Zygomycetes'.
