Correct Answer: Fungal enzymes


Solution : The correct answer is Fungal enzymes ​​​​.

Fungal enzymes decompose detritus (dead organic matter) into simpler inorganic substances. Fungi are decomposers in ecosystems, and their enzymes help break down complex organic compounds in detritus into smaller molecules like simple sugars and other organic and inorganic compounds. This process is essential for nutrient cycling in ecosystems.
