The correct answer is D. Coccidioides.Dimorphic fungi are fungi that can exist in two different forms, depending on the environmental conditions. They can grow as mold (filamentous form) at room temperature and as yeast (single-celled form) at body temperature.Cryptococcus, Blastomyces, and Histoplasma are examples of dimorphic fungi. They can switch between the mold and yeast forms, which allows them to survive in different environments.Coccidioides, on the other hand, is not a dimorphic fungus. It is a genus of fungi that primarily exists in the mold form and does not switch to the yeast form. Coccidioides species, such as Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii, are known to cause coccidioidomycosis, a fungal infection that affects the respiratory system.
