Solution

The correct option is D Ascospores
In Ascomycetes, diploid nucleus divides by meiosis and then by mitosis to form 8 (sometimes only 4) haploid ascospores. These sexually produced ascospores remain inside the sac like structure, called as ascus (asci). Ascospores are nonmotile.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
