Solution

The correct option is D Rhizopus
Asexual reproduction by spore formation is the common method of reproduction in fungi and bacteria. Example: Rhizopus
During spore formation a structure called sporangium develops from the fungal hypha. The nucleus divides several times within the sporangium and each nucleus with small amount of cytoplasm develops into a spore. The spores are liberated and develop into new hypha on the substratum when conditions become favorable.
