• C. They emit a foul smell.
• D. They are not capable of producing a new mould.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

They emit a foul smell.

Bread moulds are microscopic structures which are clearly seen only under a microscope.
They are grey or black in colour. They decompose the food material, hence a foul smell is released. They are living things and are capable of producing a new mould.
