The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Sexual Reproduction in Fungi**: - Fungi can reproduce sexually through the formation of specialized spores. These spores are produced as a result of the fusion of gametes. 2. **Identifying Types of Sexual Spores**: - The main types of sexual spores in fungi include: - **Oospore**: Formed in Oomycetes (water molds). - **Ascospores**: Produced in Ascomycetes (sac fungi). - **Basidiospores**: Formed in Basidiomycetes (club fungi). 3. **Reviewing the Options**: - The question provides several options regarding the types of spores involved in sexual reproduction: - **Option 1**: Sporangiospores, Oospore, and Ascospores - **Option 2**: Zoospore, Oospore, and Ascospores - **Option 3**: Sporangiospores, Ascospores, and Basidiospores - **Option 4**: Oospore, Ascospores, and Basidiospores 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option 1**: Contains sporangiospores, which are asexual spores. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2**: Contains zoospores, which are also asexual spores. Thus, this option is incorrect. - **Option 3**: Contains sporangiospores, which are asexual spores. Hence, this option is incorrect. - **Option 4**: Contains Oospore, Ascospores, and Basidiospores, all of which are sexual spores. This option is correct. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option 4: Oospore, Ascospores, and Basidiospores**. These are all types of sexual spores produced during sexual reproduction in fungi.
