The correct option is C
Plant

Autotrophs can synthesise their own food in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. Plants contain chlorophyll and can prepare their own food. Amoeba, bacteria, and mushrooms are heterotrophs. Heterotrophs cannot synthesise their own food. They depend on autotrophs or other organisms for their food.
