Answer 2

i mean A

Answer 3

The answer is actually D. Sulfur bacteria in a deep sea vent would not be able to use photosynthesis because in order for photosynthesis to occur, there needs to be light available. Obviously there is no light in a deep sea vent. That rules out A. Plants in a sunny mountain meadow however, do use photosynthesis. That rules out C. It isn't B because the definition of a heterotroph is an organism that gets its nutrition from other organisms. If an organism is a autotroph, that means it makes its own nutrition. It does not get it from any other organism. That makes the answer D. Medal please :D
