Final answer:

Humans are heterotrophic, belong to the domain Eukarya, and are multicellular, differentiating them from fungi, which is a kingdom of eukaryotic organisms, and archaea, which is a domain of prokaryotes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms that apply to humans from the options provided are b. Heterotrophic, d. Eukarya, and e. Multicellular. Humans are heterotrophic because they cannot produce their own food and must ingest or absorb nutrients from other sources. Humans belong to the domain Eukarya, which includes all organisms with eukaryotic cells, meaning they have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Finally, humans are certainly multicellular, composed of many cells that form tissues, organs and systems within the body.

Fungi and Archaea do not apply to humans because fungi is a different kingdom of eukaryotic, mainly saprotrophic organisms, and Archaea is a domain consisting of prokaryotic cells, which are fundamentally different from human eukaryotic cell structure.
