Ascocarp is the fruiting body found in:

Correct answer: C. Ascomycetes

  • A. Zygomycetes
  • B. Basidiomycetes
  • C. Ascomycetes
  • D. Deuteromycetes

Explanation

The correct answer is Ascomycetes because they produce a fruiting body known as an ascocarp. This structure houses the asci, where the sexual spores are formed. Zygomycetes do not produce an ascocarp; they form zygosporangia. Basidiomycetes produce a basidiocarp, which is a different kind of fruiting body. Deuteromycetes, or Fungi Imperfecti, are known for the absence of a sexual reproductive phase, hence they do not form an ascocarp.
