Several processes occur simultaneously during decomposition of detritus. choose incorrect option for catabolism and fragmentation. 
A (Organism involved):
Catabolism → Saprotrophs, Fragmentation → Detritivores → CorrectB (Example):
Catabolism → Bacteria, Fragmentation → Earthworm → CorrectC (Function):
This row is incorrect because:Fragmentation = Breakdown of large detritus into smaller particles (by detritivores)
Catabolism = Enzymatic breakdown of organic matter into simpler substances
In the table, these functions are wrongly placed/swapped and incorrectly described (especially “organic to inorganic” is mineralisation, not fragmentation).
