Answer:

D) they are heterotrophs

Step-by-step explanation:

All animals are heterotrophs. This means that they get the nutrients (nitrogen, carbon, etc.) and the energy they need to live through plants or other animals, since they do not have a system for the production of their food. All animals need carbon for the proper functioning of their basic processes, such as growth, development and reproduction.
