Question

A diverse group of terrestrial organisms separated from other plants by lack of chlorophyll is

• A. Algae
• B. Fungi
• C. Protista
• D. Animalia

Answer 1

The correct option is B Fungi

Fungi and plants both are multicellular eukaryotic organisms. These are similar to plants but also differ in some contexts. They do not have chloroplast. Hence, lack chlorophyll, the green pigment that enables plants to make their own food in the presence of sunlight. These are not plants nor are they alga. In fact, they are more similar to animals as they are heterotrophs and do not perform photosynthesis.

So, the correct answer is option B.
