Solution

The correct option is A Fungi
The fungi generally feeds on the dead remains of plants and animals where they break the complex organic substances into the simpler ones through the digestive action. These decomposed material act as a humus for soil and they increase the fertility of the soil. The fungi and the bacteria are the common examples of decomposers.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Fungi'.
