Correct answer: D. Penicillium
- A. Yeast
- B. Rhizopus
- C. Mushroom
- D. Penicillium
Explanation
The diagram shows a branched, brush-like conidiophore with chains of conidia-this is the classic structure of Penicillium. Yeast is unicellular, Rhizopus forms round sporangia, and mushrooms are macroscopic, so none of these match the illustrated microscopic brush-like appearance. Therefore, the fungus identified is Penicillium.
