Solution
The correct option is C Hyphae
Hyphae are the long, branching filamentous structures present in fungi, actinobacteria and oomycetes. They are the major mode of vegetative growth in fungi.
Rhizoids are filamentous outgrowths of the thallus of mosses and liverworts.
Paraphyses are hair-like sterile filaments present among the reproductive organs in many lower plants, like bryophytes and algae.
Haptera is a holdfast structure present in aquatic sessile organisms like seaweed and sessile algae that helps in anchoring.
