Solution

The correct option is D sporangia
  • Sporangia are the tiny blob-like structures found at the tips of sporangiophores which are involved in the reproduction process of Rhizopus. It produces and stores spores which helps in germination and eventually develop into new Rhizopus.
  • Hyphae are thread-like structures (non- reproductive parts) that develop on the Rhizopus to absorb nutrients from the environment and transport them to other parts of the fungus body.
  • Cyst is a dormant stage of a microorganism, usually bacteria or protists, that helps the organism to survive in unfavorable environmental conditions.
  • Tentacles are the flexible, mobile and elongated organs present in Hydra which contain stinging cells (nematocysts) used for capturing their prey.
