B Heterotrophic

Organisms belonging to kingdom Fungi exhibits two modes of nutrition - heterotrophic and saprophytic. They secrete enzymes to digest dead and decaying matter and then absorb the digested materials. Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce its own food, relying instead on the intake of nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter.
Autotrophs often make their own food by using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to form sugars.
An organism that lives off on or in another organism, obtaining nourishment and protection while offering no benefit in return is called a parasite.
