C. As producers, sunflowers change sunlight into usable chemical energy.

Sunflowers are classified as producers because they perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy that can be utilized by other organisms in the food web. They capture energy from the sun and use it to create their own food, forming the foundational level of the food web.
