Question

Humans and animals are dependent on plants.

• A. Directly
• B. Indirectly
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both A and B

Humans and animals are dependent on plants directly or indirectly for food.

Only plants are autotrophs i.e., they are capable of synthesizing their own food. Animals are heterotrophs i.e., they are incapable of synthesizing their own food. They depend on plants and other animals for food. The man also being a heterotroph, gets his food from plants as well as animals. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
