A. Heterotrophs are the organisms that feed on autotrophs or producers for their food.
B. Photoautotrophs are the organisms that use the light energy and convert it into chemical energy to make their food. For example, plants.
C. Symbionts are the organisms that form association with other organisms. The association may be commensalism, mutualism, parasitic etc.
D. Parasites are the organisms that live within or on an other organism which is called the host.
E. Herbivores are the primary consumers that feed directly on the producers (plants).
Hence organisms such as plants that use light to make their own food are known as photoautotrophs.
So, the correct answer is 'Photoautotrophs'.
