Question

where do animals get their energy?
a directly from the sun through the process of photosynthesis
b only from drinking energy drinks
c from eating plants and/or other animals
d from dead or decaying matter

Explanation:

Animals are heterotrophs. They cannot perform photosynthesis like plants. They obtain energy by consuming plants (producers) or other animals (consumers). Option a is for plants, option b is not a natural - occurring energy source for animals in the wild, and while some decomposers get energy from dead or decaying matter, most animals get energy from eating living plants and/or animals.

Answer:

C. from eating plants and/or other animals
