The correct response is:
**Herbivores would lose their food supply. Then secondary and tertiary consumers would lose their food supply.**
If producers (such as plants) went extinct, herbivores would no longer have a source of food, which would subsequently lead to a decline in the populations of secondary and tertiary consumers that rely on herbivores for their food supply. This would destabilize the entire food chain.
