Solution

The correct option is A Fungi
Heterotrophic nutrition involves digesting organic compounds. There are three main types of heterotrophic nutrition.
Holozoic nutrition: Complex food is taken into a digestive system and broken down into small pieces to be absorbed. This process consists of 5 stages, ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and egestion.
Saprophytic: Organisms feed on dead organic remains of other organisms.
Parasitism: Organisms getting food from other living organisms (the host), with the host receiving some kind of illness from the parasite. As Fungi shows all the three patterns of nutrition they are perfect example of heterotrophic nutrition.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
