The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of ciliate motile spores. We need to identify which type of spore is characterized by having cilia and the ability to move. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Aplanus spores**: These are known to be non-motile spores. Hence, they cannot be the answer. - **Option B: Conidia**: These are asexual spores that are produced at the tips of hyphae in fungi. They are also non-motile, so this option is not correct. - **Option C: Zoospores**: These are motile spores that possess cilia, allowing them to move. This matches the description given in the question. - **Option D: Oospores**: These are formed from fertilized oospheres and are also non-motile. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, the correct answer is **Option C: Zoospores**. Ciliate motile spores are indeed called zoospores. ---
