Answer:
D) A specimen of honey mushroom is the the largest living organism on earth according to the Guinness World Records.
Explanation:
Largest living organism:
- The world's largest living thing is a single massive honey mushroom (Armillaria ostoyae).
- It was discovered in Oregon's Malheur National Forest.
- It covers 965 hectares (2,385 acres), or the equivalent of 1,350 soccer fields.
- Although most of the honey mushroom's tissue is underground, in the form of root-like mycelia, it is well recognised for its shining surface, which is created by bioluminescent bacteria.
- It is thought to be at least 2,400 years old, although it could be up to 8,650 years old.
- It also holds the record for the world's largest fungus.
