The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

In fungi, sexual reproduction involves the formation and union of two gametes or their nuclei. In fungi, fusion involves the union of cytoplasms as well as nuclei. The former is called plasmogamy while the latter is called karyogamy, In higher fungi, karyogamy is delayed and occurs just before meiosis.

Biological Classification

The process of grouping living organisms into categories is called biological classification. The most modern 5-kingdom classification was put ahead by an eminent scientist R.H.Whittaker. The five-kingdom classification is based on the criteria like cell structure, mode of nutrition, body form, and reproduction. One of the most important characteristics of this system is that it follows the evolutionary sequence of living organisms. The organisms are classified into distinct taxa or levels like Kingdom, Phylum, Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The 5 kingdoms are as follows:
