Answer 2

Answer:  [A]:  "a decrease in the number of producers" .
_________________________________________________
 Note:  The "consumers" tend to be more mobile (at all levels) compared to the  the "producers"—which are less "mobile"— (plants, grass, trees, moss, other autotrophs); as such, the "producers" will have the greatest tendency to decrease to due destruction (as the most immediate effect—considering the answer choices given).
