Solution

The correct option is C Heterotrophs
A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food and rely on others for its food requirement. Most animals fall in the category of heterotrophs. They are not able to synthesize their own food. They usually eat autotrophs (plants) to obtain the energy. The types of heterotrophs include herbivores, those who eat plants; carnivores, those who eat other animals; omnivores, those who eat both plants and animals.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Heterotrophs.'
