Solution

The correct option is B Autotrophs
  • Green plants are capable of producing their own food by the process of photosynthesis. They prepare food using carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, and chlorophyll. Thus, they are called primary producers or autotrophs.
  • Heterotrophs are organisms that are incapable of making their own food from light or inorganic compounds. They feed on other organisms or the remains of other organisms.
  • Parasites are organisms that live in or on another organism and take nourishment from it.
So, the correct answer is option A.
