C Correct answer
Explanation

Fungi lack chlorophyll, the pigment essential for photosynthesis. This is why they cannot produce their own food through photosynthesis like plants and must obtain nutrients from external sources as heterotrophs. Presence of a clear nucleus and pigments (other than chlorophyll) are not the limiting factors.
