B. fungi

Explanation:

The fungi have already been classified as vegetables and also as protists. They are now grouped in a separate kingdom called the Fungi kingdom. This group includes diverse organisms that live in almost all terrestrial environments and have a wide range of shapes and sizes.

Fungi are heterotrophic organisms, that is, they do not produce their own food, they depend on the ingestion of living or dead organic matter to survive. For this reason, we can conclude that when an individual is infected with a pathogen that absorbs nutrients from their environment, that pathogen is probably a fungus.
