• B. Rate of photosynthesis will decrease
• C. Dead organisms will not decompose and the earth will remain dirty
• D. There will be no food for human beings

Answer 1

The correct option is C Dead organisms will not decompose and the earth will remain dirty

Saprophytic organisms feed on dead and decaying organisms. They secrete enzymes on to the dead matter and digests them. These digested nutrients are then absorbed by the saprophytic organisms which supports their survival process.
