Despite their ubiquity and importance, fungi challenge biological paradigms and have defied easy description. The mushrooms that many people think of as classic fungi, for example, are just the spore-forming appendages of larger organisms that are typically hidden from view. Early biologists lumped fungi with plants, even though they donтАЩt photosynthesize. Only in 1969 did scientists recognize fungi as a separate kingdom of life.I. Mushrooms are the most widespread of all fungi species.II. Fungi are no longer considered as plants.III. Many people fail to recognize spore-forming structures of mushrooms.
    A Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only I & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I & II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All I, II & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Option 1 is the right answer. The para tells us how early biologists categorised fungi with plants even though they do not perform photosynthesis. It further states that in 1969 fungi were recognised as a separate kingdom of life. II follows.III is incorrect as the para mentions that mushrooms, which people typically recognise as fungi are actually parts of a much larger organism that is usually not visible entirely.I cannot be inferred from the passage.
