Solution
The correct option is C
Aspergillus Aspergillus stores the reserve food in the form of oil and glycogen. It is a fungus that is heterotrophic and feeds on dead and decaying plant and animal matter. It is multicellular and eukaryotic.
Funaria is a plant; hence, the nutrition is autotrophic and stored food is starch.
Euglena is not multicellular.
Laminaria is an algae that has an autotrophic mode of nutrition.
