Answer 5

Bacteria, slime molds, and fungi are all excellent examples of decomposers, meaning that they break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so carry out the natural process of decomposition. Like herbivores and predators, decomposers are heterotrophic, meaning that they use organic substrates to get their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development.

Answer 6

Therefore the only logical answer would be B.
