Q. Which type of organism obtains energy by consuming other organisms?
✅ Correct Answer: (C)
Heterotroph
Explanation: Heterotrophs obtain energy and carbon by consuming organic matter (other organisms). Autotrophs/producers make their own organic compounds (e.g., via photosynthesis). Phototrophs use light as an energy source but can be autotrophs or heterotrophs depending on carbon source.
