The most accurate response regarding the role of sunflowers in a food web is:

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

Sunflowers, like other plants, perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy, which forms the base of the food web. They serve as producers, creating energy that is then used by consumers, such as herbivores and carnivores.
