Answer 1

Option b is the right answer.

This group are generally called as the saprophytes.

They feed on the dead animals and secrete digestive enzymes.

These enzymes break the complex food into simpler one and are then digested by the saprophytic organisms.

Thus they break the food material outside the body and absorb it.
