Vedclass · Answer

(C) Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophic in nature. They obtain nutrients through absorption (absorptive nutrition) by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. They possess a rigid cell wall made of chitin. Since they are eukaryotes,they have a well-defined nucleus enclosed by a nuclear membrane. Therefore,the statement that they are heterotrophs is correct.
