Detailed explanation-1: -ascus, plural asci, a saclike structure produced by fungi of the phylum Ascomycota (sac fungi) in which sexually produced spores (ascospores), usually four or eight in number, are formed.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is the largest phylum of Fungi, with over 64, 000 species. The defining feature of this fungal group is the “ascus” (from Ancient Greek (askós) ‘sac, wineskin’), a microscopic sexual structure in which nonmotile spores, called ascospores, are formed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hint: An ascus is a structure in which the fusion of haploid nuclei occurs during sexual reproduction, which is followed by reduction division, and as a result, haploid ascospores are formed. Whereas ascocarp is a general term used for the fruiting body of an ascomycete fungus.
Detailed explanation-4: -Correct Answer : Ascomycetes are commonly known as sac-fungi. They are mostly multicellular e.g., Penicillium or rarely unicellular, e.g., Yeast.
