Correct answer is c ( limpets and crabs ).
California's intertidal seaweed consumers (herbivores) can be relatively sedentary if they trap drift seaweeds (e.g., aba- lone, sea urchins) or graze algal films within a small area (e.g., many limpets and chitons); however, others, such as top snails, sea hares, and shore crabs, forage more widely.
