C. producers
Producers (such as plants and phytoplankton) are at the base of the food web and convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. They ingest and convert a large amount of biomass to support themselves and provide energy for the higher trophic levels. While higher trophic levels have more energy requirements, they typically consume less biomass compared to the producers.
