i–a, ii–d, iii–b, iv–c

C

i–a, ii–d, iii–c, iv–b

D

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Option C is correct because it accurately matches the fungi with their respective classifications: Trichoderma belongs to Deuteromycetes (i–a), yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is classified under Ascomycetes (ii–d), bread mould (Rhizopus) is a member of Phycomycetes (iii–c), and smut fungi (Ustilago) fall under Basidiomycetes (iv–b). Other options are incorrect as they misclassify these organisms; for example, yeast is not a Deuteromycete, and bread mould is not a Basidiomycete, highlighting the importance of understanding fungal taxonomy to correctly identify their groups.
