Answer:

B. All organisms that cannot synthesize their food by means of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis are heterotrophic.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three ways for a plant to obtain their food, photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, and heterotrophic. Photosynthesis is when the plant makes it's own food. If it can not get it's food from chemosynthesis or photosynthesis, it has to be an heterotrophic plant. The answer to the question is B. All organisms that cannot synthesize their food by means of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis are heterotrophic.
