Solution

The correct option is A Haploid uninucleate plasmodium
Slime moulds resembles both protozoa and the true fungi. They are like protozoa in their amoeboid plasmodial stage and similar to true fungi in spore formation. Under suitable conditions, they form an aggregation called plasmodium which is haploid and uninucleate.
So the correct answer is 'Haploid nucleate plasmodium'.
