Solution

A heterotrophic organism obtains energy and organic molecules through the ingestion of other organisms. They rely on other organisms for their energy and nutrient requirements, as they cannot produce their own food like autotrophs (which use photosynthesis or construct organic molecules from inorganic substances). Therefore, the correct answer to your multiple choice question is "Ingestion of other organisms".
