• A. Some of the factors affecting of fungi are temperature, aeration and moisture
• B. Fungi show great diversity in morphology and habitat
• C. Fungi are more abundant in substrates with low sugar content and low temperature
• D. Fungi are mainly terrestrial

Answer 1

The correct option is C Fungi are more abundant in substrates with low sugar content and low temperature

Characteristics of fungi-

A fungus is the member of the group of eukaryotic organism. Fungi grow in a wide variety of habitat such as desert, an area with high salt concentration, deep sea but mostly fungi are terrestrial. However some species live partially or solely in the aquatic habitat. Great diversity in morphology prepare the fungi to grow in a wide variety of habitat. Nutrient requirement for fungi to fungi may vary. Some fungi grow at high sugar content and some grow at the low sugar content. There are lots of factors which affect the growth of fungi e.g. temperature, aeration, moisture. Some fungi grow at high temperature and some grow at low temperature.

So, the correct option is 'fungi are more abundant in subtrates with low sugar content and low temperature'.
