the fungi that break down dead plants the beetles that eat a variety of grass roots the mosquitoes that hide under plant leaves the caterpillars that eat only one type of plant
I gave my students this multiple choice question: When humans move into an area, they sometimes plant grasses, flowers, or trees that are not native to the area. The non-native species sometimes choke out the native species. Which organism would most likely be harmed by a loss of native plants in the area?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- the fungi that break down dead plants
- the beetles that eat a variety of grass roots
- the mosquitoes that hide under plant leaves
- the caterpillars that eat only one type of plant

Could you tell me which one is correct?

the caterpillars that eat only one type of plant
