The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding how eukaryotic, multicellular, saprophytic organisms reproduce sexually, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organism Type**: - The question specifies "eukaryotic, multicellular, saprophytic organisms." This description fits fungi, which are known to be eukaryotic and saprophytic. 2. **Understand Fungi's Nutrition**: - Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that absorb soluble organic matter from dead substrates, which classifies them as saprophytes. 3. **Reproduction in Fungi**: - Fungi can reproduce in three ways: vegetatively, asexually, and sexually. The focus here is on sexual reproduction. 4. **Identify Sexual Spores**: - The sexual reproduction in fungi involves the formation of sexual spores. The main types of sexual spores in fungi are: - **Zygospores**: These are formed in the life cycle of many fungi and protists, representing a diploid stage. - **Ascospores**: These are produced in sac-like structures called asci. - **Basidiospores**: These are produced on club-shaped structures called basidia. 5. **Analyze the Options**: - The options provided in the question include various types of spores: - Zygospores, ascospores, and basidiospores - Zoospores, ascospores, and basidiospores - Sporangiospores and conidia - Zygospores, zoospores, and basidiospores 6. **Eliminate Incorrect Options**: - Zoospores and sporangiospores are asexual spores, so options containing these can be eliminated. - The first option includes zygospores, ascospores, and basidiospores, which are all sexual spores. 7. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer is the first option: **Zygospores, ascospores, and basidiospores**. ### Final Answer: The eukaryotic, multicellular, saprophytic organisms reproduce sexually by **zygospores, ascospores, and basidiospores**.
