The correct answer is a. Zygomycete have resistant zygosporangium as sexual stage. Glomeromycota form arbuscular mycorrhizae with plants (this is found in 90% of plants); Ascomycota have sexual spores borne internally in sacs called sori; Basidiomycota have a fruiting body containing basidia that produce sexual spores.
