Correct Answer: Fungal enzymes


Solution : The correct option is Fungal enzymes.

Fungal enzymes are involved in the degradation of detritus. Fungi, particularly saprophytic fungi, play a key role in breaking down organic matter, including dead plant and animal material. These fungi secrete enzymes into their surroundings, which help break down complex organic compounds into simpler substances that can be absorbed by the fungi as nutrients.
