What type of organism captures the energy of sunlight to produce food?

Fungi
Bacteria
Plants
Animals

The correct answer is: Plants

Plants are known to have the ability to undergo photosynthesis, a process in which they use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This ability is not found in fungi, bacteria, or animals. Fungi and bacteria obtain energy from organic matter and decaying substances, while animals consume food for energy. Therefore, C is the most accurate answer as it specifically mentions the process of capturing energy from sunlight to produce food.
