Question

The pH at which most fungi thrive is ________.
A) 3
B) 5
C) 7
D) 8
E) 14

Accepted Answer

Most fungi thrive in slightly acidic conditions, with a pH range of 5-6.5. Therefore, choice B, pH 5, is the best answer. The other options, pH 3 and 8 are too extreme, while pH 7 is neutral and not necessarily favorable for fungal growth. pH 14 is highly alkaline and would be toxic to most fungi.
