From my understanding
The correct option is D,
An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches.
A strobilus consists of sporangia bearing structures densely aggregated along a stem. The two are mainly reproductive in function.
The pair that performs similar functions is **C. sorus and indusium**.
The **sorus** is a cluster of sporangia in ferns and fungi, which are responsible for spore production. The **indusium** is a protective covering over the sorus. Both structures are related to the reproduction and protection of spores in plants.
On the other hand, **strobili** and **inflorescences** are both related to reproductive structures in plants, but they are not as closely related in function as the sorus and indusium. Strobili are cone-like structures that bear spores or seeds, while inflorescences are clusters of flowers. Ascospores and ascocarps are related to fungal reproduction, and antherozoids and rhizoids are male gametes and anchoring structures, respectively.
In the dominant phase of ferns (i.e sporophyte) The sorus is a cluster of sporangia and indusium serves as a covering to prevent desiccation.

In all, they are both concerned with as*xual reproduction in Ferns
My School Cbt is correct
The correct answer is:
D. Strobili and inflorescence
Explanation:
Let’s examine each option:
A. Ascospores and ascocarp
Ascospores are reproductive spores in fungi.
Ascocarp is the fruiting body that produces and contains ascospores.
They do not perform the same function.
B. Antherozoids and rhizoids
Antherozoids are male gametes (in mosses and ferns).
Rhizoids are root-like structures for attachment.
Different functions.
C. Sorus and indusium
Sorus is a cluster of sporangia in ferns.
Indusium is a protective covering over the sorus.
Not the same function.
D. Strobili and inflorescence
Strobili are cone-like reproductive structures in plants like gymnoman-fluids.
Inflorescence is a cluster of flowers on a flowering plant.
Both are reproductive structures that bear flowers or spores/seeds.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Strobili and inflorescence.
they are correct .locate page 309 on idodo umeh textbook.
sorus and indusium are different organization of the spores of fern but all play thesame function which is reproduction
