→ Autotrophs are the organisms that make their own food, meaning they don't need to hunt/look for anything, such as plants.

→ Heterotrophs are animals that are incapable of producing their only nutrients, so they depend on an external source of energy which they obtain by hunting, scavenging, etc.

So in a way, heterotrophs make food for autotrophs, because in their excrements, there is still nutrients which can be useful to plants.


Answer:


\boxed{\bf~C.~Hetertrophs~make~food~for~autotrphs.}
