F Krills.  The krills are a keytone species, take them away and there is no food left for any organisms. The squid, penguin, and whale will starve to death, and the leopard seal, killer whale, and emperor penguin will die because the other species, which they feed on, have died.  Thus, there will be a massive extinction of the animals.

The correct answer is "F". 'Krill'

It is what supplies the food for all of the animals, and it is at the base of the food chain. If you take Krill away, there is no food for the squid, penguin, or whale. Which then makes it so all the top predators have no food. It would reduce all the food sources available.

I hope this helps!
