Solution

The correct option is D

a – sporangium, b - hyphae


The fungus is called rhizobium. The cottony mesh that covers the bread (b) is called hyphae (sing: hypha). The fruiting bodies of the fungus produce spores. These fruiting bodies are bulb shaped (b) and are called sporangia (sing: sporangium).
