Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organisms that are multicellular, rely on other organisms for food, and reproduce by spores are fungi. Therefore, the correct kingdom is kingdom Fungi (choice B). Kingdom Animalia (choice A) includes multicellular organisms that consume other organisms for food but reproduce sexually, not by spores. Kingdom Plantae (choice C) includes multicellular organisms that are autotrophs, not heterotrophs like fungi. Kingdom Protista (choice D) includes single-celled and multicellular organisms that are eukaryotic but do not fit into the categories of animal, plant, or fungi.
