Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Decomposers can be defined as the organisms that recycles the organic matter back into the soil for the consumption by the plants.

The organic matter is used by the producers and then the producers are consumed by the the primary consumers and then primary consumers are eaten by the secondary consumers.

Then, the organism die and the decomposers feed on them and recycle the nutrients back into the soil by decomposing the dead organisms.

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so, they carry out the natural process of decomposition.
