Answer 1

In a grassland ecosystem, the autotroph would be prairie cordgrass. Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, typically including plants and some algae, while the other options you listed (monarch butterfly, muskrat, and mallard duck) are all heterotrophs that rely on consuming other organisms for energy.
