D Photosynthetic prokaryotes with chitin cell walls.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The document states that fungi are either unicellular or multicellular eukaryotic organisms that do not contain chlorophyll, but obtain their nutrients by absorption, and reproduce by spores (Page 3). This distinguishes them from prokaryotes, photosynthetic organisms, or those that ingest food.

Remember their domain (eukaryotic) and primary mode of nutrition (absorption).
