Answer 1

B) Predation and C) Decomposition

Fungi predation refers to fungi that derive some of their nutrients from trapping and eating microscopic animals. Some species trap nematodes which are normally present in the soil while others prey on ameoba.

Fungi decomposition occurs when organic matter is broken down by releasing enzymes to break down the decaying material, after which the nutrients in the the decaying material is absorbed.
