Solution

The correct option is B Capillitia
The slime moulds are unique in their structure due to their presence of capillitium, as a part of the sporophore. Capillitium is a mass of sterile fibres within a fruit body interspersed among spores. It is found in Mycetozoa (slime moulds) and gasteroid fungi of the fungal subdivision Agaricomycotina.
So, the correct answer is option C.
