Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is B-Because they derive their energy directly from the sun to produce food for themselves. Plants-autotrophs: Plants are called autotrophs because they use the energy of sunlight to store energy in food (glucose and starch).
Detailed explanation-2: -Autotrophs (producers) synthesize their own energy, creating organic materials that are utilized as fuel by heterotrophs (consumers). Photosynthetic autotrophs (photoautotrophs) use sunlight as an energy source, whereas chemosynthetic autotrophs (chemoautotrophs) use inorganic molecules as an energy source.
Detailed explanation-3: -The organisms which consume the food prepared by autotrophs or eat the plants directly (or indirectly) are called heterotrophs.
