Solution

The correct option is C Scavengers
Food web is constituted by various interlinked food chains in a community. It is also called as consumer-resource system. In food web, hyenas and vultures are scavengers. Scavengers keep an ecosystem free of the dead animals. They break down the organic matter and recycle the essential nutrients into the ecosystem. They only eat the bodies of dead animals. Hence, they play very important role in maintaining a stable ecosystem.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Scavengers.'
