Explanation:

• Viruses cannot be treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics work against bacteria by targeting their cell - wall synthesis, metabolic pathways etc., but viruses have a different structure and mode of replication.
• Fungi are one - celled (in the case of yeast) or multi - celled (like mushrooms) and they get nutrients from their environment. They can decompose organic matter or form symbiotic relationships.
• Parasites live off a host to the host's detriment. They can be single - celled (like some protozoans) or multi - celled (like tapeworms).
• Bacteria are multi - celled (in a sense that they can form colonies, but individual bacteria are single - celled in most cases, but some can have complex cell arrangements) and are not plant - like. The description of "multi - celled (made of many cells), plant - like organisms" is incorrect for bacteria.

Answer:

1. Bacteria
