Predators are:

Predators are:

• A. Plants that provide nutrients
• B. Animals that hunt other animals for food
• C. Organisms that photosynthesize
• D. Decomposers that recycle nutrients

Answer: (B)

Predation is when an animal hunts other animals for food. A predator actively pursues, captures, and consumes its prey, obtaining energy and nutrients in the process and helping shape prey populations and ecosystem structure. This role is distinct from producers like plants that make their own food through photosynthesis, and from decomposers that break down dead material rather than hunting live prey.
