    Option B, by secreting enzymes externally, directly into their surrounding environment

    Explanation:

    Fungi are not able to engulf their food just like bacteria. They do not have stomach or digestive system/organ. In fact, the digestion in fungi is external which means they release digestive enzymes to digest the surrounding organic food externally.
