The correct answer is:

B. There will be a decrease in dairy products that can be used by humans.

Cattle grubs are parasites that harm cattle by feeding on their flesh, which can lead to health issues in the cattle. This can result in lower milk production and poorer overall health of the cattle, consequently leading to a decrease in the production of dairy products. The other options are unlikely or incorrect based on the impact of the cattle grubs.
