Solution
The correct option is C Autotrophy Autotrophy is the ability of organisms to synthesise their own food from inorganic materials using light or chemical energy. This is seen in all green plants, some bacteria and algae. Animals, however, have a heterotrophic mode of nutrition. They acquire their food from other organisms. Animals, therefore, do not show autotrophy.
