The correct answer is - c. sunlight.
The sunlight, or rather lack of it, is the biggest limiting factor for growth on the floor of the rainforests. The dense canopies of the higher trees block the sunlight to reach the floor of the rainforest, thus the plants growing in the shades are much smaller, have become specialized for life without or with very little sunlight. They are not able to compete with the trees that are very high to reach the upper parts of the forest and get direct sunlight, so they are on the floor, in the shades. In fact these plants have become so specialized to life without sunlight that if the big trees are removed and they are exposed to the sun they will not manage to survive.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Producers are organisms that produce their own food and energy. In most ecosystems these are usually just plants. Some plants like the Venus fly trap are not producers because they consume bugs, which are other organisms.
Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms to obtain food and energy. These are usually animals that eat plants or other animals.
Decomposers are organisms that break down animals remains and waste to gain energy. These are usually bacteria and fungi.
So, we can make the following list.
Producers: Wild grasses, alpine plants, fallen trees, (these are all plants)
Consumers: Mountain goat, eagle, hare (these all eat other organisms)
Decomposers: Lichens, mosses (these are decomposers).
Mosses could be a producer but they have the unique capability of breaking down organic matter, so it seemed for fitting to put them in the decomposer category.
Have a wonderful day! :D
