Solution

The correct option is A True
Decomposers like detritivores and soil microbes depend on the dead and decaying matter as the source of nourishment or energy as they draw their energy by decomposing the complex organic matter in the dead remains of plant and animal species into simple compounds and inorganic molecules which is specifically reused by the plants in the ecosystem.
