B) prairie cordgrass

In a grassland ecosystem, prairie cordgrass would be an autotroph. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Plants, such as prairie cordgrass, are typically autotrophs as they can photosynthesize, capturing energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
