I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Most fungi are saprobes which means they feed on dead and decaying matter. Saprobes is a term that refers to a group of fungi that act as decomposers. Hope this answers the question.

Answer:Answer: Option A

Explanation: Fungi are "saprobes" which means they live on the dead and decaying organic matter for its survival.

Fungus performs extracellular digestion by producing the enzymes outside their body and decomposing the organic matter outside their body.

This helps to recycle the nutrients back into the soil to be consumed by the microorganism in the soil and producers that grows in soil.
