Solution

The correct option is C 3
Fungi have parasitic (depending on other live organisms), saprophytic (deriving nourishment from decaying matter), and symbiotic (associate with other organisms) modes of nutrition.

Some bacteria have the chemosynthetic mode of nutrition (make their own food using chemical reactions), and animals and some protists have the holozoic mode of nutrition (ingest food).
