Answer: C) Fungi need light for photosynthesis.  

Fungi are saprophytic organisms belonging to the kingdom Fungi. These organisms are dependent upon dead and decaying matter of the living organisms and their products for their own nourishment. These organisms exhibit hyphae which is a thread like structure to derive nutrition from the dead and decaying organic matter. They recycle the organic matter into nutrients which are readily absorbed by the plants from the soil, therefore they are called as decomposers. Yeast is a fungi that is used in preparation of bread. Penicillin is the antibiotic that is prepared from the fungi Penicillium notatum. It is highly potent fungi to fight against bacterial infections.

The fungi cannot produce their own food like plants and other autotrophs by the process of photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen.

On the basis of the above information, fungi need light for photosynthesis is not true about the fungi.
