The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of organisms that can make their own food. 2. **Definition of the Organism**: Organisms that can produce their own food are called **autotrophs**. 3. **Characteristics of Autotrophs**: Autotrophs do not rely on other organisms for their food. They can synthesize their own food using raw materials. 4. **Examples of Autotrophs**: The most common examples of autotrophs are **green plants**. They produce their food through a process called **photosynthesis**. 5. **Photosynthesis Process**: During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create food (glucose) and oxygen. 6. **Contrast with Heterotrophs**: In contrast, organisms that cannot make their own food are called **heterotrophs**. These include animals and fungi, which depend on other organisms (like plants) for their food and energy. 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the name given to organisms that can make their own food is **autotrophs**. ---
