Answer: C. Kelp
Kelp is considered to be one of the sources of energy that is consumed by other marine animals in an ocean ecosystem. The substantial amount of kelps in the ocean yields a significant factor in sustaining energy that is needed by turtles, seals, kelp crabs and other marine animals. Hence, kelp is considered to be a natural producer, since it can produce its own nutrients by the process of photosynthesis. Being exposed to sunlight allow photosynthetic organism in the ocean to produce their own food to sustain their growth and development, and in turn be consumed by other organisms.
