In an Antarctic ecosystem, phytoplankton are eaten by krill, which are eaten by baleen whales. If the population of phytoplankton suddenly decreased:

The population of whales would increase.
The population of whales would decrease.
The population of phytoplankton would decrease.
None of the above.

B would make sense, because their wouldn't be enough phytoplankton for the whales to eat. I believe you are correct.
