Correct answer
B. Albugo
Step-by-step solution
Branched and septate mycelium is found in Ascomycetes (sac fungi), Basidiomycetes (club fungi), and Deuteromycetes (imperfect fungi). The mycelium is aseptate and coenocytic in Phycomycetes. Neurospora belongs to Ascomycetes, Ustilago belongs to Basidiomycetes, Colletotrichum belongs to Deuteromycetes and Albugo , a parasitic fungus on mustard, belongs to Phycomycetes.
