A coprophilous fungus is (b) Pilobolus.

Coprophilous fungi are fungi that grow on dung or fecal matter, and Pilobolus is one of the well-known genera of coprophilous fungi. Trichoderma and Fusarium are not typically associated with growing on dung but are known for other ecological niches and roles in soil and plant interactions. So, the correct answer is (b) Pilobolus.
