• B. They alone have the capacity to synthesise food.
• C. They can eat everything.
• D. They respire.

Answer 1

The correct option is B They alone have the capacity to synthesise food.

Producers, such as green plants, are organisms that utilize solar or chemical energy to synthesize starch. All food chains must start with a producer. Producers, also known as autotrophs, make their own food. They make up the first level of every food chain. Autotrophs are usually plants or one-celled organisms. Nearly all autotrophs use photosynthesis to create food (glucose) from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
