Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) chlorophyll

Explanation

Fungi lack chlorophyll, so they cannot perform photosynthesis and are heterotrophic, obtaining nutrients by absorption.

Their cell wall is made of chitin, distinguishing them from green plants.

They have access to carbon dioxide, sunlight and oxygen, so these are not what they lack.
