Solution

The correct option is B

Anaerobic


Anaerobic means "living, active, occurring, or existing in the absence of free oxygen", as opposed to aerobic which means "living, active, or occurring only in the presence of oxygen.

Saprotrophs are organisms, particularly fungi, which obtain nutrients directly from dead organic matter.

A parasite is an organism that lives within or on a host. The host is another organism. The parasite uses the host's resources to fuel its life cycle.
