The correct answer is option D, that is, Shrimp will exhibit more difficulty in finding food.
A food chain refers to a hierarchical alignment of species each relying on the next as a source of food. A food chain is a linear arrangement of associations in a food web beginning from producer organisms, like grass or trees that use radiation from the Sun to make their food, and terminating at apex predator organisms.
A food chain in the ocean starts with the tiny-one celled species known as phytoplankton that produce their own food from sunlight. The shrimps eat the phytoplankton, the small fishes eat the shrimps, and the bigger fishes like salmon eats the smaller fishes, and the salmon then ultimately is hunted and consumed by humans.
