Answer:
The microorganism creates its own energy.
Explanation:
Based on the pattern of nutrition, a living organism can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic organisms are those organisms capable of synthesizing its own food or energy source using light (photosynthesis) or chemicals (chemosynthesis). Heterotrophs, on the other hand, cannot synthesize their own food, hence, they depend on other organisms for energy.
According to this question, a researcher claims that a newly discovered microorganism is an autotroph. For this claim to be true, this means that the microorganism must be capable of CREATING ITS OWN FOOD/ENERGY either by photosynthesis (light) or chemosynthesis (inorganic chemicals).
The answer is going to be the letter D, nitrogen. I hope this helps!!

The independent variable is that in which the result is dependent on. For experiments, this is usually the item being varied. For this case, what is being varied is that one group is given caffeine while the other is not. That makes the amount of caffeine given to be our independent variable.
