Vedclass · Answer

(C) Fungi are heterotrophic organisms because they lack chlorophyll,which is the pigment required for photosynthesis.Since they cannot perform photosynthesis,they are unable to synthesize their own food and must obtain nutrients from organic matter.Therefore,Statement $Y$ (lack of chlorophyll) is the direct biological reason for Statement $X$ (heterotrophic nature).Thus,both statements are true,and $Y$ is the correct explanation of $X$.

Column-$I$ (Class)	Column-$II$ (Examples)
$P$. Ascomycetes	$I$. Alternaria,Colletotrichum,Trichoderma
