Keystone predators can maintain species diversity in a community if they prey on the community's dominant species
Option B is correct.
What is meant by keystone predator?
A keystone species is usually a dominant predator whose removal allows a prey population to explode and often decreases overall diversity. other forms of keystone species are those, like coral or beavers, that significantly alter the habitat around them and thus affect large numbers of other organisms.
Are keystone species always predators?
A keystone species is usually , but not always, a predator. Just some predators can control the distribution and population of large numbers of prey species. the whole concept of keystone species was founded on research surrounding the influence of a marine predator on its environment.

Herbivore; carnivore
A rabbit is an example of a herbivore while a hyena is an example of a carnivore.
A herbivore is an animal that obtain its energy by feeding mainly on plants (i.e. that eats no meat). Other examples of herbivores apart from rabbit are cows, sheep and insects. A carnivore is an animal that feeds on meat as the main parts of its diet. Other examples of carnivores apart from hyena are lions, coyotes, tigers and eagles.
Many autotrophs make food through the
process of photosynthesis, in which light energy from the sun is changed
to chemical energy that is stored in glucose. All organisms use cellular respiration to break down glucose, release its energy, and make ATP. Autotrophs are also called producers. They produce food not only for themselves but for all other living things as well (which are known as consumers). This is why autotrophs form the basis of food chains.
Yes, autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration.
The activity of some enzymes requires vitamins. This is because vitamin derivatives contribute to the biochemical mechanisms of these enzymes. These vitamin derivatives belong to a class of molecules known as cofactors, which are organic molecules (called coenzymes) or metallic ions, that assist in the catalytic activity of an enzyme.
