Solution

The correct option is C Reproduce sexually as well as asexually.
Fungi show three types of reproduction- vegetative (fragmentation, fission, budding, sclerotia, rhizomorphs), asexual (zoospore, aplanospores, oidia, chlamydospores, conidia, ascospores, basidiospores, binucleate spores) and sexual (gametic fusion, gametangial contact, gametangial copulation, spermatization, somatogamy).
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
