Solution

The correct option is C Mycota
Mycota is an alternative taxonomic name of kingdom fungi. These microorganisms have a naked cytoplasm and are multinucleated. They are non chlorophyll organisms. So, they cannot perform photosynthesis. So, they are saprophytic. They are non motile and their cell wall is made up of chitin. Some of them like yeast have only single cell.
So, option C is the correct answer.
