C. Both 1 and 2 is correct
Step-by-step solution
mycelium is branched and septate. The asexual spores in Ascomycetes are conidia produced exogenously on the special mycelium called conidiophores. Conidia on germination produce mycelium. Sexual spores are called ascospores which are produced endogenously in sac like asci (singular ascus). These asci are arranged in different types of fruiting bodies called ascocarps.
