In this case, we have that the algae are the base of the food web, zooplankton (tiny animals) eat them and in turn these feed the rest, algae along with plants are the primary producers so without them the ecosystem cannot function properly, therefore we can say that the correct answer is the second option, although the other two are possible consequences, the greater impact would start with zooplankton.
