The correct option is C Ascomycetes

Ascomycetes are 'spore shooters'. They are fungi which produce microscopic spores inside special, elongated cells or sacs, known as 'asci', which give the group its name. They include most moulds, mildews, and yeasts, the fungal component of most lichens and penicillium.

So the correct answer is option C.
