Answer:

B. Corn

Step-by-step explanation:

Corn is considered a producer because corn meets the two primary characteristics of a producer. To start, producers make their own food so they can live. Corn is a plant that uses photosynthesis to take energy from the sun and make usable glucose for energy. Second, producers serve as a food source for consumers. All other answer choices are consumers.

Answer:

B. corn

Step-by-step explanation:
