Answer 2

Fungus is a heterotroph, it may be a parasite or a saprophyte.

Hence the correct option is (a) parasite and (c) saprotroph

• Fungi are heterophic organisms as they can not prepare their own food.

• Heterotrophs may be parasitic or saprophytic .

• Parasitic fungi - Heterotrophs , those derive food from non living organic carbon source . parasitic fungi harm the host cells and take benefits from the host cells.

• Saprophytic fungi - Heterotrophs those derive their food from living cells of other organisms.
