Answer:
option d) Fungi
Explanation:
Some fungi produce special rootlike hyphae, called rhizoids, which anchor the thallus to the growth surface and probably also absorb food. Many parasitic fungi are even more specialized in this respect, producing special absorptive organs called haustoria.
Based upon modes of nutrition, Protists are grouped into Plant-like protists and ingestive, animal-like protists; and absorptive, fungus-like protists. So, the correct answer is 'Plant-like protists and ingestive, animal-like protists; and absorptive, fungus-like protists'.
