Solution

The correct option is C Kingdom - Protista
Slime moulds are also called fungus-like protists, which share characteristics of both animal and fungi. Protista contains the organism which is autotrophic and heterotrophic. They lack chitin in the cell wall. They release an enzyme that breaks down their food items, which they then absorb through their skin.
So, the correct answer is option A.
