Solution

The correct answer is A. Consumers obtain all of their energy by eating other organisms. Consumers, in the context of biology, are organisms that cannot make their own food and must ingest other organisms to get the energy and nutrients they need. This includes all animals, as well as some plants and fungi. They get their energy from the food they eat, which can be other animals (in the case of carnivores), plants (in the case of herbivores), or both (in the case of omnivores).
