Fungi can survive in dry conditions in which the following stage:
Correct answer: C. Resting stage
- A. Asexual reproduction
- B. Sexual reproduction
- C. Resting stage
- D. Active stage
Explanation
The correct answer is the 'Resting stage.' During this stage, fungi often produce spores or other dormant structures that are adapted to survive in dry or otherwise unfavorable conditions by reducing metabolic activity until conditions improve. In contrast, the 'Asexual reproduction' and 'Sexual reproduction' stages are more about propagation rather than survival in harsh conditions. The 'Active stage' requires moisture and other favorable conditions for growth and metabolism, making it unsuitable for dry environments.
