Answer 2

Answer:

Producers among the given options are grasses and shrubs.

Explanation:

Producers : In the ecosystem, producers are those organisms which utilise sunlight to make food. They are autotrophs. Organisms present at other trophic levels are dependent on them. Primary consumers feed them. Producers are generally plants, grasses and shrubs in the terrestrial ecosystem . In aquatic ecosystem, phytoplanktons, diatoms are primary producers.

Grasshoppers eat grasses and a variety of crops such as wheat, corn, rice etc. Organisms such as rabbits, mice, birds , hawks etc are not producers as they are dependent on others for their food. Therefore, they are known as heterotrophs.

So, it is clear from above discussion that Grasses and shrubs are the only producers among the given options.
