The answer is D. Both fungi and plants can grow in soil.

According to the process of elimination:
- Plants are autotrophic organisms while fungi are heterotrophic organisms.
- Plants have vascular tissue, and fungi don't.
- Fungi are the only organisms that have cell walls made of chitin.

Therefore, the correct choice is that both fungi and plants can grow in soil.
