Solution
The correct option is B Fungi, filamentous algae, protonema of mosses
In fungi, vegetative reproduction occurs by fragmentation or budding (in yeasts).
In
algae, asexual reproduction occurs by means of various kinds of spores.
However, in some filamentous algae, multiplication occurs by
fragmentation.
In Bryopsida (mosses), vegetative reproduction occurs
through fragmentation, formation of secondary protonenia, gemmae,
tubers, etc. So the correct option is C.
