In a food web, organisms that have two arrows pointing toward them are typically consumers that are being eaten by two different types of predators. Based on your options, let’s analyze:
A. **The rattlesnakes**: If rattlesnakes are being preyed upon by two different carnivores, they would have two arrows pointing toward them.
B. **The hawks**: If hawks are top predators and not prey for others in this context, they would not have arrows pointing toward them.
C. **The roadrunners**: If roadrunners are preyed upon by two different carnivorous animals, they would have two arrows pointing toward them.
D. **The desert grasses**: Grass is typically a primary producer and doesn't get arrows pointing toward it as a consumer.
From the context, **A. the rattlesnakes** or **C. the roadrunners** could be correct if they are being preyed upon by two different predators. However, without specific details of the food web, it's hard to definitively name one. Generally, if you know that either the rattlesnakes or the roadrunners are indeed being preyed upon by two different organisms, you would select that organism.
If you have additional information on which organism is a consumer or being preyed upon by others, that would help determine the correct answer.
