The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.
A network of food chains existing together in an ecosystem is known as a food web.
Kite is a carnivore bird, it eats on fishes, birds, rabbits, snakes, rats, etc. In a food web, an animal like kite occupies a specific position because it controls the population of lower carnivores and herbivores.
Hence the given statement an animal like Kite cannot be part of the food web is a wrong statement.
