Solution

The correct option is C Syncytium
A eukaryotic cell usually contains a single nucleus. This is called monokaryotic condition. However, binucleate (eg Paramecium caudatum), trinucleate (eg Paramecium aurelia) and multinucleate condition also occur. The multinucleate form is called as plasmodium in slime moulds, syncytium in animal cells and coenocytic in plant cells.
Hence the correct option is B.
