Cevap
The correct answer is D. Cryptococcus neoformans.Cryptococcus neoformans is a type of fungus that has a capsule. The capsule is a protective layer that surrounds the fungal cell and helps it evade the immune system. This capsule is composed of polysaccharides and is considered a virulent factor, meaning it contributes to the fungus's ability to cause disease.The other options listed, Histoplasma capsulatum, Blastomyces dermatitidis, and Coccidioides immitis, do not have a capsule.
