Coenocytic. In this way, they lack a septum and the fungal mycelium is, in a way, one giant cell with many nuclei. Cytokinesis never took place.

Answer:

The correct answer is A) Coenocytic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coenocytic hyphae do not develop partitions, unlike the septate. Therefore, the cells are not divided, turning into a giant cell with several nuclei. This kind of hyphae is typical of Zygomycota fungi and it's really helpful for the taxonomic classification in bigger taxa.
