All three consume organic matter.
Explanation:
Decomposers consume organic matter that is either decaying or dead biotic matter.
Heterotrophs require organic matter from their surroundings because they cannot synthesize their own food.
Carnivores consume organic matter that is alive, mostly eating flesh of mammals (or other fleshy living things).
