Solution

The correct option is B
Fungi

Fungi secrete digestive juices on the dead and decaying matter and convert it into a solution. Then they absorb the nutrients from it. This mode of nutrition in which organisms take in nutrients in solution form from dead matter is called saprotrophic nutrition. Organisms which use this method are called saprotrophs.
