The correct answer is:
A

The mycelium in Phycomycetes (often called "lower fungi") is characterized as aseptate and coenocytic.Aseptate: The hyphae lack internal cross-walls (septa) that would otherwise divide them into individual cells.Coenocytic: Because there are no septa, the hyphae form a continuous, tube-like cytoplasmic mass containing multiple nuclei.Common Examples: Members of this group include Rhizopus (bread mold), Mucor, and Albugo.
