The answer is C. Just like other most other plants, plant-like protists have the chlorophyll pigment that harnesses sunlight to make their own energy. This is why they are categorized as autotrophs. Animal-like protists, on the other hand, are heterotrophs because they consume other organic molecules by engulfing hence categorized heterotrophs.
