Hey,
It's a very minor & silly mistake but I suggest you to read very carefully.
Colon (
:) represents that the same thought will be carried out in the next sentence.
One of the most widely held beliefs about the dynamics of salt-marsh ecosystems : supposedly, consumers such as geese do not play a large role in controlling the productivity of marsh systems.Hence they are not major players.
I don't know how you can infer
B, while the answer is word to word match for
C.
Please read carefully & ask if you have any doubts.

Can you pls help in clarifying why it is c and not b .I had it down to these two as my options . And marked b , i did this because the passage mentions that geese are ""not supposedly, consumers such as geese do not play a large role in controlling the productivity of marsh systems""
