Answer:

The student who filled the table correctly was C)student 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student no 3 noted the organisms to be :

Bread mold: Decomposers

Koala Bear: Consumer

Mushroom: Decomposer

Oak Tree: Producers

Bread mold is a fungus. It decomposes the bread to get energy from it.

Mushrooms are also decomposers. Almost,all type of fungi are decomposers.

Plants are always the producers in a food chain. So, oak tree is the producer.

Animals cannot make their own food. Hence, they are the consumers like koala bear above.
