The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each option and determine whether the statements about the fungi are correct or not. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option (a): Aspergillus - Meiosis occurs in asci - Produces citric acid** - Aspergillus is a genus of fungi that belongs to the Ascomycetes. In Ascomycetes, meiosis occurs in structures called asci, where ascospores are formed. Additionally, Aspergillus is known for its ability to produce citric acid, commonly used in food and beverages. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 2. **Option (b): Albugo - Coenocytic hyphae - Parasite on Mustard** - Albugo is a genus of fungi that belongs to the Oomycetes (often referred to as water molds). It has coenocytic (aseptate) hyphae and is indeed a parasite on mustard plants. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 3. **Option (c): Penicillium - Basidiospores - Multicellular** - Penicillium is a genus of fungi that is classified under Ascomycetes, not Basidiomycetes. It produces ascospores, not basidiospores. Penicillium is multicellular, but the pairing with basidiospores is incorrect. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Option (d): Colletotrichum - Conidia - Smut disease** - Colletotrichum is a genus of fungi that produces conidia and is known to cause anthracnose diseases in various plants. However, it is not associated with smut diseases, which are typically caused by fungi in the Ustilaginomycetes class. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. ### Final Answer: The correct pairs of combinations are: - **(a) Aspergillus - Meiosis occurs in asci - Produces citric acid** - **(b) Albugo - Coenocytic hyphae - Parasite on Mustard**
