Answer:

The correct answer is option a. "Plasmodial slime mold".

Step-by-step explanation:

Plasmodial slime molds, are comprised of a single "supercell" with thousands or millions of nuclei within it. These organisms are formed by the fusion of multiple flagellated cells. The formation of these single celled organisms depend on the presence of enough food source. Typically, plasmodial slime molds have a diameter of 3 to 4 centimeters, but they can growth up to 30 centimeters.
