I gave my students this multiple choice question: Bernice studied some organisms that live together in a field. In which way is a rabbit similar to the plant it eats?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- They both need energy to survive.
- They both consume other organisms.
- They both absorb water from the ground.
- They both produce their own food from sunlight.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

They both need energy to survive.
