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.
Hence the correct answer is C.
