The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Absorptive Mode of Nutrition**: - The absorptive mode of nutrition refers to the process where organisms absorb nutrients directly from their environment. This is typically seen in organisms that secrete digestive enzymes to break down organic matter outside their bodies. 2. **Identifying Saprophytic Organisms**: - Saprophytic organisms are those that feed on dead organic matter. They secrete digestive enzymes into their environment, which helps in breaking down complex organic materials into simpler, soluble forms that can be absorbed. 3. **Recognizing Decomposers**: - Decomposers play a crucial role in ecosystems by breaking down dead organic matter. Most decomposers are bacteria and fungi, which are known for their absorptive mode of nutrition. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Algae** - Algae primarily utilize photosynthesis for nutrition and do not exhibit an absorptive mode. - **Option 2: Fungi** - Fungi are heterotrophic and primarily saprophytic, making them the correct answer as they absorb nutrients from their environment. - **Option 3: Bryophytes** - Bryophytes also perform photosynthesis and do not have an absorptive mode. - **Option 4: Euglenoids** - Euglenoids can switch between photosynthesis and a heterotrophic mode but do not primarily absorb nutrients in the same way as saprophytic organisms. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option 2: Fungi**, as they are the organisms that exhibit the absorptive mode of nutrition.
