    A)  Colletotrichum

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Perithecium (ascocarp) is flask-shaped and duply sunk in cavities or locules in the cortical area of the stroma. It has a definite apical pore, ostiole through which the ascospores escape. It is common in class-Ascomycetes (including Aspergillus, Sphaerothea, etc.) Colletotrichum is included in class-Deuterocycetes (fungi imperfecti). Sexual reproduction is absent here.
