(C) Slime molds are saprophytic protists. The body moves along decaying twigs and leaves engulfing organic material. Under suitable conditions,they form an aggregation called plasmodium which may grow and spread over several feet. During unfavorable conditions,the plasmodium differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips. $Physarum$ is a well-known genus of slime molds. $Anabaena$ is a cyanobacterium,$Rhizopus$ is a bread mold (fungi),and $Thiobacillus$ is a chemoautotrophic bacterium.
