(c) predator, carnivore, consumer
Explanation:
Because the scorpion stalks, kills and eats its food, it is a predator. Because it eats a spider it is a carnivore. Because it ingests food it is a consumer. A producer is an autotroph as it is an organism that makes its own food from inorganic substances. A decomposer breaks down dead matter and a herbivore eats only plants.
