D
protist
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Kingdom fungi are eukaryotic, multicellular organisms having cells with chitinous cell wall and show heterotrophic mode of nutrition.

Detailed explanation-2: -Introduction: Fungi are a kingdom of multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophs (cannot make their own food and rely on other sources) and play key roles in nutrient recycling in an ecosystem. They are also called eukaryotic fungi. Fungi include microorganisms like yeasts, molds, and mushrooms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kingdom Fungi includes multicellular and unicellular, heterotrophic fungi. Fungi are commonly mistaken for plants because some species of fungi grow in the ground. Fungi are fundamentally different from plants in that they do not perform photosynthesis and instead feed on the living matter of others.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fungi primarily depend on the dead and decaying organic matter for their nutrition. They release enzymes that can break down the organic matter, which is then absorbed by them. So, they are heterotrophic. They have a nuclear membrane, hence are eukaryotic.
