Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Ainsworth G. C. classification of fungi is based on morphology, especially of reproductive structure.
He placed Rhizopus in class Zygomycetes.
Rhizopus species mostly are saprobic (decomposers) and feed on a variety of dead organic matter, though some species are also parasitic or pathogenic.
The body of Rhizopus is branched and composed of three types of hyphae: stolons, rhizoids, and usually unbranching sporangiophores. Mycelium is aseptate and multinucleate (coenocytic mycelium).
