Sporangia are structures that produce

• A. Arbuscular spores
• B. Sporangiospores
• C. Conidiospores
• D. Zygospores

Answer: (B)

Sporangia are sacs that form asexual spores inside them, so the spores produced are called sporangiospores. This setup is characteristic of certain fungi where mitotic division occurs within the sporangium, and when the sac releases, a burst of sporangiospores is dispersed for propagation.

Other options don’t fit this structure. Conidiospores are produced externally on conidiophores as chains or clusters, not inside a sac. Zygospores are sexual spores formed after fusion inside a zygosporangium, not the asexually formed sporangiospores. Arbuscular spores relate to spores associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and are not produced by sporangia.
