Solution

The correct option is A Amorphotheca resinae
The majority of fungi can reproduce both asexually and sexually. Yeast reproduces asexually by budding. Other fungi reproduce asexually by producing spores. Sexual reproduction occurs when spores from two parents fuse and form a zygospore. Amorphotheca resinae can reproduce both asexually and sexually.
So, the correct option is 'Amorphotheca resinae'.
