Answer 1

Based on the roles typically found in a forest ecosystem, the organisms can be matched as follows:

- **Deer**: Consumer (Deer are herbivores that consume plants and shrubs).
- **Owl**: Predator (Owls are carnivores that prey on small mammals and other birds).
- **Shrub**: Producer (Shrubs are plants that produce energy through photosynthesis).

So the correct matches are:

- **Deer** → Consumer
- **Owl** → Predator
- **Shrub** → Producer
