• B. Herbivores
• C. Deteritivores
• D. Autotrophs

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Omnivores

Omnivore is a consumption classification for animals that have the capability to obtain chemical energy and nutrients from materials originating from plant and animal origin. Often, omnivores also have the ability to incorporate food sources such as algae, fungi, and bacteria into their diet as well. Omnivores come from diverse backgrounds that often independently evolved sophisticated consumption capabilities. Although cases exist of herbivores eating meat and carnivores eating plant matter, the classification "omnivore" refers to the adaptations and main food source of the species in general. Various mammals are omnivores in the wild, including humans and bear species.

So the correct option is 'omnivores'.
