Solution

The correct option is D Heterotrophs
A heterotroph is an organism that depends on another for food. Since, these organisms lack the mechanisms to use sunlight and inorganic compounds to make their own food and derive energy they depend on organisms that are either dead or alive. All fungi constitute this group of organisms that live on sources of food and digest and absorb nutrients from them.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
