Solution
The correct option is C Plasmodium
The thallus of myxomycetes resembles Amoeba, hence these fungi are also myxamoeba. They are holocarpic i.e., the entire thallus gets converted into the reproductive body. They reproduce asexually by fission or cysts and sexually by zoospores. The thallus of slime moulds exists in two forms acellular slime mould (Plasmodium) and cellular slime mould (pseudoplasmodium). Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
