The correct option is D A - Autotrophs, B - Consumers, C - Scavengers, D - Saprophytes, E - Abiotic factors

Living components in an ecosystem are called biotic factors whereas non living components in an ecosystem are called abiotic factors.
Interaction of biotic and abiotic factors makes life possible on earth.
The organisms which can make their own food are called autotrophs and are commonly known as producers. Whereas the organisms which cannot make their own food are called heterotrophs and are commonly called consumers.
