Solution
The correct option is E Hyenas
Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so, they carry out the natural process of decomposition. Like herbivores and predators, decomposers are heterotrophic, meaning that they use organic substrates to get their energy, carbon, and nutrients for growth and development.
Hyenas are consumers. They are carnivorous animals. Others can be considered decomposers.
