Solution

The correct option is D Promycelium
  • In Rhizopus, the male (+) and female (-) gametangia fuse and the gametangial copulation leads to the formation of a zygospore.
  • On germination, the innermost layer comes out after cracking the outer walls and produces a promycelium. With further develop­ment, the promycelium is differentiated into a lower stalk-like sporangiophore and an upper spherical sporangium. Hence, the Zygospore of Rhizopus develops into Promycelium.
  • So, the correct answer is "Promycelium
