Answer 1

The best response is B: "Yes, worms are decomposers. They feed off of the humus."

Worms, such as earthworms, typically inhabit the top layer of soil (the A horizon), where they have access to organic material like decomposed leaves and other plant matter (humus). They play a crucial role in soil health by breaking down this organic material and aiding in nutrient cycling.
