To determine which organism feeds on the largest variety of organisms in the food webs provided, we generally consider the diet of each organism based on typical ecological roles:

  • Hawk: Typically a predator that may eat a variety of small animals, such as rabbits, mice, and even frogs.
  • Fox: A versatile predator that can consume rabbits, mice, and possibly birds or insects.
  • Frog: Generally eats insects and small invertebrates, but may also eat small vertebrates.
  • Snake: Usually preys on small mammals, birds, and sometimes amphibians.

Based on their diets, the hawk likely feeds on a variety of organisms, including small mammals (like mice and rabbits), frogs, and possibly even insects.

Therefore, the answer is:

A. Hawk
