D) plants and fungi.

Accepted Answer

The two main decomposers on Earth are bacteria and fungi. They are responsible for breaking down dead organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. While viruses and protists can also play a role in decomposition, they are not considered the main decomposers. Additionally, plants and animals are not decomposers, but rather they can become decomposed by bacteria and fungi after they die.
