A) the species would eventually become unable to reproduce asexually, but diversity would increase.
B) there would be gradual reduction in genetic diversity, but overall population would rise.
C) The frequency of genetic mutations would increase, but reproduction rates would lower.

A, the species would continue to sexually reproduce until there was no way to be asexual any longer

Answer: A). the species would eventually become unable to reproduce asexually, but diversity would increase.

Explanation:

The sexual mode of reproduction involves two parents of opposite sex the gametes from which fuse together to form zygote which gives rise to new offsprings.

The asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which only a single parent is involved which produce numerous offsprings.

In sexual mode of reproduction segregation of chromosomes takes place during gamete formation as a result of which genetic variations develop making the offsprings different from parents.

If the fungi species becomes unable to reproduce asexually for long then the species will loose the trait of asexual mode of reproduction and will continue with sexual mode. As a result of this the genetic diversity will increase in the species.
