Fungi can tolerate temperature:
Correct answer: D. Both a and b
- A. Below 5°C
- B. Above 50°C
- C. 5−50°C
- D. Both a and b
Explanation
Fungi are incredibly adaptable organisms that can survive in a broad range of temperatures. While most fungi thrive between 5°C and 50°C, some species are capable of surviving in extreme conditions below 5°C and above 50°C. These temperature extremes are not suitable for growth for all fungi, but some specialized fungi have adapted to these conditions. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Both a and b'. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they only consider parts of the temperature spectrum where fungi can survive, rather than accounting for the full range of their adaptability.
