The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Coenocytic Organisms**: Coenocytic organisms are those that do not have distinct individual cells; instead, they have a continuous cytoplasmic mass with multiple nuclei. This condition is often found in certain fungi and algae. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides four options: - A. Eulothrix - B. Volvox - C. Escherichia - D. Rhizopus 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Eulothrix**: This is a green alga that consists of individual cells, not coenocytic. - **Volvox**: This is also a green alga that forms colonies of individual cells, hence it is not coenocytic. - **Escherichia**: This refers to Escherichia coli, a bacterium which is unicellular and does not exhibit coenocytic characteristics. - **Rhizopus**: This is a genus of fungi, commonly known as bread mold, which exhibits a coenocytic structure as it has multiple nuclei within a single cell mass. 4. **Conclusion**: Among the given options, Rhizopus is the only organism that is coenocytic. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, Rhizopus. **Final Answer**: D. Rhizopus ---
