Answer:
The plants are consumed by the deer and bear.
Explanation:
Food Web is nothing but interconnection of two or more food chains.
Deer being a herbivore, eat plants directly. So, Deers are primary consumers as plants are producers in any food chain or food web.
So we can say that the plants are consumed by the deer and bear.
Bear being omnivore eats both plants and animals. That are primary as well as secondary consumers.

There’s less scarcity of food for the population is an advantage of a single population of animals having a large amount of variability surrounding certain traits
<u>Explanation:</u>
The population of animal is eating three different types of plants. One of them is good in digesting plant A, one of them is good in digesting plant B and other group is good in digesting plant C.
Thus, the population although has a huge number, but each of the individual is divided into one of the 3 groups which is different in feeding habits. Thus there’s no scarcity of food in the population. Thus the population can live well and reproduce without any nutritional strain.
