Two organisms X and Y were kept in complete isolation in a well planted garden within two separate cages. They were regularly provided with water but not with food. Organism X flourished well but the organism Y died. What could be the most suitable explanation for this?
(A) Organism Y was a saprophyte and it cannot get dead organic matter to feed upon.
(B) Organism X was a bird parasite and could feed upon the birds living on trees.
(C) Organism Y was a carnivore and it cannot get its prey animal to feed upon.
(D) Organism X was a herbivore and could feed upon the dead organic matter present in soil.
Option A seems to be correct also also organism Y is a saprophyte, it requires food. Since food was not provided it will die. Hence option A also seems to be OK,
