Solution
The correct option is A Hyphae
1) Most fungi grow as tubular filaments called hyphae. An interwoven mass of hyphae is called a mycelium2) The walls of hyphae are often strengthened with chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine.3) Fungi disperse themselves by releasing spores, usually windblown.4) Fungi are heterotrophic.
Molds consist of long, branching filaments of cells called hyphae. A tangled mass of hyphae visible to the unaided eye is a mycelium. So, the correct answer is "Hyphae".
