Slime moulds are a special type of protistan fungi. They show an asexual mode of reproduction. Sporulation is the most common mode of reproduction in them. They form fruiting bodies, which store food. These fruiting bodies contain haploid spores. These spores when matured are released and the process of sporulation continues.
So, option C " Slime Moulds" is the correct answer.
