Hi there!


\large\boxed{\text{B. Producer}}

The only organisms in a food web that do not get energy from other organisms are producers. These are autotrophs (ex: plants or phytoplankton) that use photosynthesis to produce energy. This means that these organisms only intake water and sunlight rather than nutrients from other organisms (consumers).
