The correct answer is:
C

Yeast (specifically Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a unicellular organism belonging to the kingdom Fungi.

It is biologically classified as a fungus because it is a eukaryotic heterotroph with chitinous cell walls, even though it lacks the filamentous structure (hyphae) seen in most other fungi.
