The question is incorrect as it does not have the options which are:

  • Its spores are produced asexually.
  • It is an endomycorrhizal fungus.
  • It is aquatic.
  • It relies on insects for spore dispersal.
  • It is unicellular.

Answer:

It is aquatic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The spores are the asexual reproductive units produced by the algae and fungi which helps in the dispersal of the species.

When the spores possess the flagella, the spores are known as the zoospores which are produced in the zoosporangium.

The zoospores are the characteristic of the aquatic fungi like Synchytrium which are thin-walled and germinate to form a new mycelium.

Thus, the fungi are aquatic is the correct answer.
