Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms. The study of fungi is called mycology. On the basis of their mode of reproduction, fungi are of two types: Perfect fungi and imperfect fungi. Perfect fungi reproduce through asexual and sexual spores whereas imperfect fungi reproduce through an asexual phase. Imperfect fungi are also known as deuteromycota.
