Answer 1

Answer: Option D is correct
Explanation:
Fungi are unique organisms characterized by filamentous growth.
Their filaments are referred to as hyphae. The mesh-like network of fungal hyphae is referred to as Mycelium.
The fungal hypha can be branched or unbranched. They can be septate or aseptate.

The filamentous growth form allows them to explore and absorb nutrients from the environment.

Yeast is a unicellular nonfilamentous fungus.
