Solution

The correct option is A Mushroom
A mushroom is a common form of basidiomycetes we find on logs, soil, and tree stumps.
They reproduce asexually through fruiting bodies called basidiocarp and get their nutrition from the organic matter on which they live and are considered saprophytes.
Lichens, unicellular algae, and ferns are autotrophic in nature.

So, the correct answer is option A.
