Question

For clean environment, which one is not essential?

• A. Producer
• B. Polluter
• C. Consumer
• D. Decomposer

Answer 1

The correct option is B Polluter

The producer is required initially for the availability of organic food. The consumer will consume the organic food prepared by the producer and will also make an equilibrium in the environment by being a part of the nutrient cycle. A decomposer will breakdown the dead organic from the dead bodies of producer and consumer. So, these are required in a functional ecosystem. The presence of polluter is undesirable as it would distort the environment, making it difficult for the biotic and abiotic components to keep their sustenance.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Polluter'.
