Solution

The correct option is D Fungus
It must be a fungus which is a filamentous thread-like eukaryotic organism. The cell wall is composed of chitin. There is no chlorophyll pigment or chloroplast. They cannot perform photosynthesis and are heterotrophic or saprophytic. The cell structure forms mycelium which is composed of the hyphae which spread and help in attachment to the substratum.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
