The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will break down the information step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the First Statement The first statement claims that "Fungi may be sometimes autotrophic." - Fungi are primarily known as heterotrophic organisms. They do not have the necessary pigments to perform photosynthesis, which is the process used by autotrophic organisms (like plants) to synthesize their own food using sunlight. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect because fungi cannot be autotrophic. ### Step 2: Understand the Second Statement The second statement claims that "Stored food material in Fungi is starch." - In fungi, the primary stored food material is not starch; it is actually glycogen. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a form of energy storage in fungi, similar to how starch functions in plants. - Thus, this statement is also incorrect. ### Step 3: Conclusion Both statements A and R are incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that both statements are wrong. ### Final Answer Both statements A and R are incorrect. ---
