What would be an immediate effect of the construction of roads and parking lots on the transfer of energy from producers to consumers in an ecosystem?

a.
a decrease in the number of producers

b.
a decrease in the number of consumers

c.
an increase in the number of producers

d.
an increase in the number of consumers

In an ideal situation, the producers include the trees, grasses and forests.
Building of roads and parking lots involve the clearing of forests and bushes.
Therefore there would be a decrease in number of producers. And ur answer is A.

Please mark me as brainliest.

 [A]:  "a decrease in the number of producers" .

 Note:  The "consumers" tend to be more mobile (at all levels) compared to the  the "producers"—which are less "mobile"— (plants, grass, trees, moss, other autotrophs); as such, the "producers" will have the greatest tendency to decrease to due destruction (as the most immediate effect—considering the answer choices given).
