Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
When the food supply is exhausted, the amoeboid cells get aggregated without any fusion.
This aggregated mass of cells is called pseudoplasmodium.
It is a sort of community association.
Because of this reason, cellular slime moulds are called the communal slime moulds.
Pseudoplasmodium also shows division of labour as some cells form fruiting body (sporangium) while others form spores.
