The correct answer is:
- B. spore formation
Explanation:
1. Fungi reproduce sexually through the formation of spores.
2. Spores are reproductive cells that can develop into new fungi under suitable conditions.
3. These spores are produced as a result of sexual reproduction in fungi.
4. This process allows fungi to have genetic variation and adaptability in their offspring.
5. Unlike asexual modes like budding, cone formation, or fragmentation, spore formation involves the fusion of specialized reproductive cells to produce spores for sexual reproduction in fungi.
