Correct option is B
The correct answer is (B) Autotrophs.
- Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from simple substances, usually through processes like photosynthesis (in plants) or chemosynthesis (in some bacteria).
- They use basic compounds such as carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight (in the case of plants) to create more complex organic compounds like glucose.
Information Booster:
- Heterotrophs: These organisms cannot make their own food and depend on other organisms for nutrition (e.g., animals, fungi).
- Saprotrophs: These organisms, like certain fungi and bacteria, obtain their food by decomposing dead organic matter.
- Holozoic organisms: These organisms ingest solid food for nutrition, typically by consuming other organisms (e.g., animals), but they don't produce their own food like autotrophs.
