Solution

The correct option is B Duckweed
Producers are the green plants which convert light energy into chemical energy and prepare their own food. They are autotrophic component of an ecosystem. They are green plants and are photosynthetic. Their kind varies with the type of ecosystem. In an aquatic ecosystem, producers will be aquatic plants. For example, Duckweed also known as water lenses. These are flowering aquatic plants which keep floating on the surface of water. Since these plants are photosynthesising, they are producers in an aquatic food web.
So, the correct answer is 'Duckweed'.
