What type of nutrition do fungi generally show?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Saprophytic nutrition
Fungi generally show saprophytic nutrition. They grow on dead or decaying organic matter, release digestive enzymes outside their bodies, break complex substances into simpler soluble molecules, and absorb those molecules. Therefore option A is correct. Fungi are not generally autotrophs because they do not make food by photosynthesis; “light nutrition” and “blood nutrition” are not standard categories here.
