Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the hyphae of a multicellular fungi creates a complex network of filaments it is called a 'mycelium'. Because the hyphae of fungi are so thin, they have an incredibly high surface area to volume ratio. The large surface area makes fungi extremely well-adapted to absorbing nutrients from soil and other substrates
