Solution
The correct option is C mycelium
Mycelium (plural: Mycelia) is the mass of branched, tubular filaments (hyphae) of fungi. Each individual filament of the mycelium is called hypha (plural: hyphae).
Hyphae without septae or walls and many nuclei are called coenocytic hyphae.
A mold is an example of fungus that tends to thrive in damp areas.
