Visible light, also known as white light, consists of a collection of component colors. These colors are often observed as light passes through a triangular prism. Upon passage through the prism, the white light is separated into its component colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The separation of visible light into its different colors is known as dispersion.

lions [1.4K]
I believe the correct response is A. The population of secondary consumers would decrease, as now these organisms can't obtain energy through the food they consume which is the primary consumers as there is none and thus the population in higher tropic level dependent on them would decrease. This is the secondary consumer.
