The correct option is D Rhizopus
Rhizopus is known as bread mould.Rhizopus is a genus of common saprophytic fungi (on plants) and specialized parasites (on animals). They are found on a wide variety of organic substrates, including mature fruits and vegetable jellies, syrups, leather, bread, peanuts and tobacco. Some Rhizopus species are opportunistic agents of human zygomycosis (fungal infection) and can be fatal. Rhizopus species grow as filamentous, branching hyphae that generally lack cross-walls (i.e., they are coenocytic). They reproduce by forming asexual and sexual spores.Hence the correct option is C.
