Solution

The correct option is C Pythium
Pythium is a fungus that grows saprophytically in soil and water. It also survives in dry soil for several years. The cell walls of Pythium debaryanum has cellulose and chitin which was investigated by Thomas in 1942.
It was later, in 1950, that Frey stated it contains only cellulose in this reinvestigation of the genus.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
