Answer:

Option D, Protista

Step-by-step explanation:

It is found and established as well that both plant and fungi have evolved from a common ancestor i.e protists. Hence, option C is incorrect. They both belong to the Eukarya domain therefore they consists of eukaryotic cells. Being eukaryotic , cell of plant and fungi have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Plants are supposed to be evolved from plant-like protists as they were also able to photosynthesize the way plants do in current time. However, the fungi are heterotrophic protists

Thus, option D is correct
