C
budding
D
this does not exist
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction in the fungi consists of three sequential stages: plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis. The diploid chromosomes are pulled apart into two daughter cells, each containing a single set of chromosomes (a haploid state).

Detailed explanation-2: -A spore formed as a result of conjugation of gametes or nuclei (such as zygospore, ascospore, basidiospore) of opposite sex are sexual spores. So, Conidia & Zoospore are asexual spores. Oospore & Ascospore are sexual spores. Sporangiospore is asexual and basidiospore is sexual spore.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ascomycetes produce sexual spores, called axcospores, formed in sac-like structures called asci, and also small asexual spores called conidia. Some species of Ascomycota are asexual and do not form asci or ascospores.
