Solution

The correct option is C Actinomycetes
Actinomycetes is a genus of the actinobacteria class of bacteria. They are all Gram-positive. All species grow best under anaerobic conditions. These species do not form endospores, and, while individual bacteria are rod-shaped, Actinomycetes colonies form fungus-like branched networks of hyphae.
So the correct answer is Actinomycetes.
