D. All of the aboveExplanation
The correct answer is "All of the above". Fungi do not contain chlorophyll, which means they cannot carry out photosynthesis and produce their own food. Instead, they obtain nutrients by absorbing organic matter from their surroundings. Fungi also have cell walls that contain chitin, a tough and flexible polysaccharide that provides structural support. Therefore, all three statements are true and the correct answer is "All of the above".Rate this question:
