Answer: A. Autotrophs supply food for the heterotrophs.

Explanation: A deer is a heterotroph and a plant is a autotroph. Examples of heterotrophs are animals and humans, and examples of autotrophs would be plants and algae. Therefore, because a deer consumes plants that means that autotrophs supply food for the heterotrophs. And by the way I did the exam myself and got this answer correct!
