The smallest fungal group is:
Correct answer: C. Zygomycota
- A. Basidiomycota
- B. Ascomycota
- C. Zygomycota
- D. Deutromycota
Explanation
The correct option is "Zygomycota." Zygomycota is a relatively small fungal group that includes fungi like bread molds (e.g., Rhizopus) and other related species. They are characterized by the formation of resistant structures called zygosporangia during sexual reproduction. While Zygomycota is smaller in terms of species diversity compared to Basidiomycota and Ascomycota, it is still a significant fungal group with important ecological roles and economic impacts.
