• A. Consumers
• B. Producers
• C. Secondary consumers
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Producers

The major source of energy for decomposers are the dead remains of producers and consumers. In the process of extracting nutrients and energy from this dead material, they decompose them into small organic molecules and inorganic compounds that are released into the environment which are reused as raw materials by the producers.
