Explanation / Answer

ANSWER 35 :- (B) option is correct i.e. heterotropic.

With the presence of water, minerals and sunlight, fungi are not able to make their own food by the process of photosynthesis as other green plants do because fungi lacks the green pigment called chlorophyll. So, they are not able to prepare their own food and due to this they have to depend on other organisms for food as animals do. So, all fungi are heterotropic.
