Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Ascocarps are fruiting bodies produced by ascomycetes, a type of fungi. Truffles are one of the most well-known examples of ascomycetes with ascocarps. Rusts and smuts are types of fungi that produce spores instead of fruiting bodies, and Rhizopus and chytrids are types of fungi that do not produce ascocarps at all.
