Organisms that obtain energy by eating other organisms are called consumers. They are organisms like animals and fungi.
The answer is A. This ensures that the resource has enough time to regenerate so as to sustain consumption. An example is that of the carrying capacity of a habitat. If a herd of cows exceed the carrying capacity of the grazeland, the grass will be depleted and the area will be predisposed to desertification. The environment will not be able to sustain the cows anymore until the herd number reduce.

Answer: Balaenoptera musculus
Salmon are predators to shrimp.
This makes sense because a predator is an animal that hunts another animal to survive. Since salmon feed on shrimp, they must be a predator.
Additionally, we can eliminate the other possibilities by process of elimination:
-B is incorrect as a parasite is an organism that lives inside of another organism. Since salmon do not live inside of shrimp, this doesn't make sense.
-C is incorrect because a host is an organism that a parasite lives inside of. Since shrimp do not live inside of salmon, this also can be removed.
-D is incorrect because prey is an animal that is eaten by another animal. Since shrimp to not eat salmon, this can also be eliminated.
Therefore, A is our answer.
Hope this helps! :)
