The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks for the type of plant that manufactures its own food. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** The options provided are: - Autotropic - Symbiotic - Heterotropic - Saprophytic 3. **Defining Each Option:** - **Autotropic:** This term refers to organisms that can produce their own food, primarily through the process of photosynthesis. The prefix "auto-" means self, and "trophic" means feeding. - **Symbiotic:** This refers to organisms that live in close association with others, often relying on them for nutrients. Symbionts do not produce their own food. - **Heterotropic:** Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and must rely on consuming other organisms for energy. - **Saprophytic:** Saprophytic organisms obtain their nutrients from dead and decaying matter, rather than producing their own food. 4. **Identifying the Correct Answer:** Since the question specifically asks for a plant that manufactures its own food, the correct answer is **autotropic**. Autotrophic plants, such as green plants, produce their own food through photosynthesis using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. 5. **Conclusion:** Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **autotropic**. ---
