Solution

The correct option is C Photoautotrophs
Nutrition in Algae. Following our definition of the term algae, most algal groups are considered photoautotrophs, that is, depending entirely upon their photosynthetic apparatus for their metabolic necessities, using sunlight as the source of energy, and CO2 as the carbon source to produce carbohydrates and ATP.

So, the correct option is 'Photoautotrophs'.
