Solution

The correct option is B Both A and B.
Plants require less energy as compared to animals as they do not have to move as animals do in search of food and shelter. Plants do not have to take care of their young ones as animals have to. Due to both of these reasons, animals have to spend a lot of energy. In a large plant body, there are many dead cells like sclerenchyma which do not need any energy.
