Answer:
C) Most fungi get their nutrients by ingesting small pieces of other living organisms.
Explanation:
Most fungi are saprotroph, it is, they obtain nutrients by decomposing non-living organic matter -i.e. dead plant or animal matter- and absorbing soluble organic compounds; carbohydrates are the preferred carbon source.
A smaller percentage of fungal species are parasites, and obtain nutrients from living hosts (other living organisms).
An advantage of a tall plant is that it gets more sun than if it were a smaller plant.
