Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

because the mycelium of Ascomycetes (sac fungi) is typically septate (divided by cross-walls called septa) and branched. A coenocytic (multi-nucleated without septa) and aseptate mycelium is actually a characteristic feature of another class of fungi called Phycomycetes.
