Answer 2

Option B is correct.

B. aerobic autotroph

Step-by-step explanation:

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis).

So, if a particular single-celled organism uses radiant energy to fix carbon as sugars and generates ATP by breaking down sugars through a process that uses oxygen, then it will be an aerobic autotroph.
