The division of Kingdom Fungi into various classes (such as Phycomycetes, Ascomycetes, etc.) is primarily based on which of the following sets of features?

Step-by-step solution

According to the biological classification of Kingdom Fungi, the primary criteria for dividing the kingdom into various classes (such as Phycomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and Deuteromycetes) are the morphology of the mycelium, the mode of spore formation, and the type of fruiting bodies. Fungi are heterotrophic and lack photosynthetic pigments, making options involving pigments incorrect. While cell wall composition (chitin) and reserve food (glycogen) are characteristic of the kingdom as a whole, they are
