Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
In certain true fungi, e.g., Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes, during certain stages of the life history, the hyphae become organised into a loosely or compactly woven mass, called plectenchyma.
These are of two types—prosenchyma and pseudoparenchyma.
(i) Prosenchyma-It is a loosely woven tissue consisting of distinguishable long cells.
(ii) Pseudoparenchyma. The hyphae here are short-celled and compactly arranged.
