Feeding stage of which protist is known as plasmodium

Correct answer: A. Myxomycota

  • A. Myxomycota
  • B. Oomycetes
  • C. Amoeba
  • D. Apicomplexans

Explanation

The correct answer is Myxomycota. In the life cycle of Myxomycota, the feeding stage is called a plasmodium, which is a large, multinucleate, amoeboid mass that can move and engulf food particles. This is distinct from other protists like Oomycetes, which are filamentous and lack a plasmodium stage, Amoebae, which are single-celled and do not form plasmodia, and Apicomplexans, which have complex life cycles but do not include a plasmodium feeding stage.
