Heterotrophs are organisms that depend on other organisms for food. For example, a bird would be a heterotroph. A bird eats other organisms like worms and beetles. A plant would be an example of an autotroph, which is an organism that makes it’s own food.
The correct answer would be D. gets food from outside itself.
