Solution
The correct option is D Autotrophic
A food chain is the sequence of biological community (an ecosystem) to obtain nutrition. A food chain starts with the producer that prepares their own food from solar energy and convert it into a usable form of energy. These are called autotrophs or primary producers. The organisms in next trophic level that eat the plants are called herbivores or primary consumers.
The next link in the chain is animals that eat herbivores. These are called secondary consumers and so on.
