Answer:

Nutrient acquisition via external digestion is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fungi are group of eukaryotic organisms that have no chlorophyll, heterotrophs, have cell walls made up of chitin and reproduce through spores.

Fungi get their food from organic compounds in the environment.

Fungi acquire their nutrients via external digestion because they did not ingest good substances into their body rather they release digestive enzymes into the food and digest it external. After that the food is absorbed from the external digestion.
