By preying upon sea urchins, sea otters maintain underwater kelp (large algae) "forests", which would otherwise be decimated by the herbivorous sea urchins.

Based on this, what type of species best describes sea otters?

A. indicator species. B. flagship species. C. keystone species. D. dominant species. E. umbrella species.
