A
septa
B
haustoria
C
spore
D
sporangium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sporangiospores are spores that are produced in an enclosed, sac-like structure, called a sporangium, at the end of the sporangiophores.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some fungi produce spores within a protective sac called a sporangium, while others produce spores that are not surrounded by a protective sac. In some cases, sporogenesis, or the creation of spores, occurs by mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sporangiospores are spores that are produced in a sporangium (plural: sporangia). A sporangium in fungi (but not mosses and some other organisms) is simply a cell containing spores.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ferns are dispersed by air-borne spores which have a thick protective wall that surrounds a living cell. Large numbers of spores are formed inside spore sacs (sporangia) that are usually located on the underside of fronds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sporangia can produce spores by mitosis, but in nearly all land plants and many fungi, sporangia are the site of meiosis and produce genetically distinct haploid spores.
