Correct Answer: Zooplankton


Solution : The correct option is Zooplankton.

Zooplankton, including small organisms like copepods and krill, consume phytoplankton as their primary food source. These zooplankton then serve as a crucial link in the aquatic food chain, becoming the primary food for fish, crustaceans, and larger species, sustaining the balance and productivity of marine ecosystems.
