The busy bees take this nectar and produce honey, which is collected by the beekeeper, who puts it in quart jars and supplies it to the baker.

    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.
