Solution

The correct option is B i and ii
Fungi are the group of organisms which grow on dead and decaying substances. They are saprophytic organisms which means that they live on and get nourishment from dead organisms or decaying organic material. All fungi are multicellular, except yeast which is a unicellular fungus. Some fungi are poisonous, but some like Agaricus bisporous (Mushroom) are edible fungi.
