Solution

The correct option is C Coenocytic
A cell usually contains a single nucleus. However, binucleate (eg. Paramecium caudatum), trinucleate (eg. Paramecium aurelia) and multinucleate forms also occur. The multinucleate form is called plasmodium in slime moulds and syncytium in animal cells and coenocytic in plant cells. A nucleus is absent in some mature cells like mammalian RBCs and sieve tube cells. They are called anucleate cells.
Hence the correct option is B.
