Some protists, called mixotrophs can use sunlight to produce their own food but can also switch to consuming food from their environment.

What is a protist?

Protists are eukaryotic, microscopic organisms that may be unicellular or multicellular.

In terms of feeding, some protists are autotrophic while some are heterotrophic.

The difference between them is that the autotrophic protists produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis, while the heterotrophic protists cannot photosynthesize but they obtain their food by ingesting other organisms or decaying organic matter.

Thus, option "D" is correct.
