Solution
The correct option is C Plasmogamy, karyogamy, meiosis
With the exception of class deuteromycotina (fungi imperfecti), we find sexual reproduction in all other classes of fungi. During sexual reproduction, the compatible nuclei show a specific behaviour which is responsible for the onset of three distinct mycelial phases. The three phases of nuclear behaviour during sexual reproduction in fungi are:
Plasmogamy: Fusion of two protoplasts (fusion of cells of fungi).
Karyogamy: Fusion of two nuclei to form zygote.
Meiosis: Diploid zygote gives rise to haploid spores (the reduction division).
