• C. Animals get nourishment from plants. So he is indirectly dependant on plants.
• D. Yes humans can depend on meat for their nutritional requirements.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Animals get nourishment from plants. So he is indirectly dependant on plants.

Photosynthesis is responsible for producing food in plants. Herbivores obtain food from plants. These are then eaten by carnivores. So even if we eat only meat, we will be indirectly dependent on plants for our nutritional requirements.
