Answer:

The correct answer will be option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fungal infection are the infections caused by the fungi which are less common than infection caused by bacteria.

Fungi attack animals by direct colonizing and destroying the tissues and result in mycosis. Many fungal infections occur on the animal's skin.

Although rare, they are very difficult to treat as they are closely related to eukaryotic organisms and the compound that kill the fungi also harms the eukaryotic animal host. Additionally, antibiotics target only prokaryotic cells and not eukaryotic organisms. So, this limits the medical treatments that can be used against them.

thus, option D is the correct answer.
