C. The beekeeper is a first-tier supplier of the local restaurant.

Explanation:

The correct definition of a supplier is "a person or organization that provides something that another person or organization needs".

So the answer for the rest of the options is:

A. The local restaurant is a first-tier supplier of the loyal diners.

Wrong. Loyal diners are customers for the restaurant, not suppliers.

B. The busy bees are a first-tier supplier of the local restaurant.

Wrong. Obviously bees are not people or organizations. Somehow we could say that bees are the beekeeper's "workers".

D. The baker is a first-tier supplier of the local restaurant.

Wrong. The baker is a restaurant employee.
