If a primary consumer is removed from a food chain, the most likely outcome is:
**B. Other consumers may not have enough to eat.**
Primary consumers are essential for transferring energy from producers (plants) to higher-level consumers. If they are removed, the organisms that rely on them for food may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain and potentially leading to further negative impacts on the ecosystem.
