Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
The Turkey Tail fungus is ________ for its resemblance to a turkey's tail. It belongs to the class of saprophytic fungi, which feed on dead wood, or other decaying matter, and are ________ for life on earth.
Answer: D
'Named' and 'vital' fit best. 'Named for its resemblance to a turkey's tail' explains where the fungus gets its name, and decomposers that break down dead wood are vital for life on earth because they recycle nutrients.
'Blamed for' does not suit a harmless resemblance, and 'meant for its resemblance' is not idiomatic. 'Known for its resemblance' reads acceptably, but 'mandatory for life on earth' is wrong because mandatory means required by a rule, not essential in nature, and 'pivotal' goes with 'meant', which already fails.
