B Correct answer
Explanation

Rhizopus, yeast, and Penicillium are fungi that obtain nutrition by secreting enzymes onto dead organic matter and absorbing the broken-down products - this is saprophytic nutrition. Parasites feed on living hosts, symbionts have mutual relationships, and autotrophs produce their own food.
