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.
