Solution

The correct option is C Paramoecium
All green plants have an autotrophic mode of nutrition. They prepare their own food by utilising solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis. Heterotrophic nutrition is the mode of nutrition where the organism is unable to prepare its own food and hence, depends upon plants or other organisms for nutrition. It is of three types, saprophytic, parasitic and holozoic. Fungi obtain food from dead and decaying substances and hence follow a saprophytic mode of nutrition, Cuscuta is a plant parasite that lack chlorophyll and thrive on other plants, consuming their nutrients to grow, whereas paramoecium and other animals including humans follow a holozoic mode of nutrition.
