Solution

The correct answer is "Green plants and some bacteria".

Autotrophic organisms are those that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis). Green plants are the most common example of autotrophs because they can perform photosynthesis. Some bacteria are also autotrophic, specifically those that can perform chemosynthesis.

Bacteria and viruses are not necessarily autotrophic because not all bacteria can produce their own food and viruses are not considered living organisms, so they don't "eat". Similarly, not all bacteria and fungi are autotrophic. Some fungi and bacteria are heterotrophic, meaning they rely on other organisms for food.
