B. Unicellular autotrophic eukaryotes that get their energy from sunlight and can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
C. Multicellular heterotrophic eukaryotes that get their energy from consuming other organisms and can only reproduce sexually.
D. Multicellular or unicellular heterotrophic eukaryotes that get their energy from absorption and can reproduce both sexually and asexually.

Answer 1

C. Multicellular heterotrophic eukaryotes that get their energy from consuming other organisms and can only reproduce sexually.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be option D.

The fungi are the members of the group of eukaryotic organisms. They can be unicellular such as yeast as well as multi-cellular such as mushroom.

They are usually heterotrophic in nature and they get their nutrition by absorbing digested or dissolved nutrients from the environment. They release digestive enzymes in the environment which dissolve the nutrients and convert them into absorb-able form.

They can reproduce sexually (by fusion of hyphae) as well as asexually (by spores)
