Solution
The correct option is A Apple tree
An autotroph sometimes referred to as producers, is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, CO2 or other chemicals. Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their own food. Apple tree produces its own food. Whereas mushroom, frog, and eagle are heterotrophs, i.e., they are consumers, they can't produce their own food.
