Consider the phylogeny (Fig. 34.15) below. Imagine that the trait "complex multicellular fruiting bodies" actually was present in the common ancestor indicated by the arrow

What would its presence in the common ancestor mean for the evolution of fruiting bodies in the group Dikarya? A. The Glomeromycetes lost complex multicellular fruiting bodies. B. The group Dikarya has members that didn't evolve complex multicellular fruiting bodies. C. The group Dikarya has members that lost the trait of complex multicellular fruiting bodies. D.
