Final Answer:
a. Producer
b. Rabbit
c. The rabbit population would decrease because foxes eat rabbits, so more foxes mean more rabbits get eaten.

Explanation:
- a. Grass makes its own food using sunlight (photosynthesis), so it’s a
producer—it starts the food chain.
- b. Rabbits eat grass directly, so they are
herbivores (plant-eaters) and also
primary consumers (first animals in the chain that eat producers).
- c. Foxes eat rabbits. If there are more foxes, they will catch and eat more rabbits. So, fewer rabbits will survive and reproduce → the rabbit population goes down. This is how predators control prey numbers in nature.
