Solution
(i) and (iv)
Explanation:
Animals cannot manufacture their own food so they are heterotrophs, not autotrophs.
Carbon dioxide is a raw material for photosynthesis. In the process of photosynthesis, plants manufacture organic compounds, inside the chlorophyll-containing cells from carbon dioxide and water with the help of solar energy. So, CO2 is essential for photosynthesis.
