Solution

The correct option is B

False. Plants that manufacture their own food are called autotrophs.


Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light or chemical energy. Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and rely on other organisms(both plants and animals) for nutrition.
