Solution

The correct option is D Saprophytic
Saprophytes live and feed on the dead organic remains of other organisms (eg. Fungi like Rhizopus, Yeast and Penicillium).
Parasites live and feed on a live host, causing harm to the host (eg. Mildew on cucumber, tapeworms in humans).
In a symbiotic relation, two organisms live in close association with each other where one of them gets benefitted while the other has either some benefit or a neutral effect (eg. Algae and fungi associated as lichens).
Autotrophic nutrition is the production of own food using water, light and carbon dioxide (eg. green plants).
