Solution

The correct option is D
Fungi

All green plants, algae and cyanobacteria are autotrophic in nature. They produce their own food. Although Venus Flytrap eats insects, it can produce its own food as well. Hence it is not exclusively heterotrophic. On the other hand, all animals and fungi are heterotrophs and hence follow heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
