Answer: Option B
Solution:
The sexually fruiting body of Powdery mildew fungi is Cleistothecium.Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that affects a wide range of plants.
Powdery mildew fungi can only reproduce on their living cell host and reproduce both sexually and asexually.
Sexual reproduction is via chasmothecia (formerly cleistothecium), a type of ascocarp where the genetic material recombines.
