Solution

The correct option is C Mixed
Sorus present in Nephrolepis is mixed. Sporangia arise without any order of development and therefore are called as mixed type. In mixed sorus there is irregular ripening of later sporangia among earlier ones, which is regarded as an advanced form of sorus. In it the young and old sorus are indiscriminately mixed.
Hence the correct option is C.
