### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the similarities between fungi and algae. Both belong to different kingdoms in the biological classification system, but they may share some characteristics. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided include various characteristics such as modes of reproduction, food reserves, cell wall composition, and presence of chlorophyll. 3. **Identifying Similarities**: - **Reproduction**: Both fungi and algae can reproduce sexually. This is a significant similarity as both groups have the capability for sexual reproduction, in addition to asexual reproduction. - Other options such as food reserves, cell wall composition, and presence of chlorophyll do not show similarities: - Fungi store food in the form of glycogen, while algae store food as starch. - The cell wall of fungi is made of chitin, whereas the cell wall of algae is made of cellulose. - Fungi lack chlorophyll and are heterotrophic, while algae contain chlorophyll and are autotrophic. 4. **Conclusion**: The only similarity between fungi and algae from the options provided is that both can reproduce sexually. ### Final Answer: Fungi and algae show similarity in **sexual reproduction**. ---
