The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Organism**: The question asks about "Aspergillus." We need to determine what type of organism it is. 2. **Review the Options**: The options provided are fungi, protozoa, algae, and none of these. 3. **Understand Fungi**: Fungi are a group of organisms that are primarily multicellular (with some exceptions like yeast), and they play a crucial role in decomposition and nutrient cycling. 4. **Differentiate Between Organisms**: - **Fungi**: Multicellular (e.g., mushrooms, molds). - **Protozoa**: Unicellular organisms (e.g., amoeba, paramecium). - **Algae**: Can be unicellular or multicellular, but they are primarily photosynthetic organisms. 5. **Classify Aspergillus**: Aspergillus is a genus of fungi that is known for its role in decomposition and can also be used in fermentation processes. It does not grow in water but rather in various substrates. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the classification, Aspergillus is indeed a type of fungi. **Final Answer**: Aspergillus is a type of fungi. ---
