That they are not congruent
The correct answer is C. The hyphae absorb nutrition and detect when conditions are right to sprout a mushroom above ground.
Explanation:
Two key features of living organisms are energy processing and response to stimuli. These two features imply organisms require nutrients, which can be taken from the environment or created through a process such as photosynthesis and they sense their surroundings and respond to it.
Moreover, these two features are exemplified by mushroom (fungi) in the sentence "The hyphae absorb nutrition and detect when conditions are right to sprout a mushroom above ground" because the first section shows the developing mushroom takes nutrients from the soil or its environment and this is essential for growing and survival. Also, the second section of the sentence shows the developing mushroom can sense its environment and respond by developing only in appropriate conditions.
