Answer:

D) dandelion

Step-by-step explanation:

Autotrophs are living things that produce their own food, ie they are able to synthesize organic compounds from inorganic compounds through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

The word "autotroph" comes from the Greek terms autos = own and trophos = food.

Autotrophic organisms are vegetables, algae and some bacteria. These beings form the basis of a food chain and serve as food for other living beings who are unable to produce their own food (heterotrophs).
