Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Food chain is connected as one organism depends on other organism for their food.

Here, the food chain is Plankton→shrimp→salmon→ human

If the population of plankton will decrease then the there will be less food for shrimp and their population will decrease, based on them the population of salmon will also decrease.

So, the correct answer is option A

This is a chain reaction. If the plankton population decreases, there will be a lack of food supply for the shrimp. As a result, the shrimp population will also decrease and the salmon will have trouble finding food.

Thus, the answer is A.
