Vedclass · Answer

(B) $Rhizopus$,commonly known as bread mold,belongs to the group of fungi called Zygomycetes.It reproduces asexually primarily through the formation of specialized structures called sporangia.Inside these sporangia,numerous microscopic,non-motile,asexual spores (specifically sporangiospores) are produced.These spores are released upon the rupture of the sporangial wall and are dispersed by wind or water to germinate into new mycelia under favorable conditions.Therefore,the correct method of asexual reproduction in $Rhizopus$ is by spores.
