The network of food chains which are interconnected to each other is called food web. In a food chain, each member is eaten by the other in the sequence. Kite is considered as secondary or tertiary consumer in a food chain. It is a part of food chain. So, it is a part of the food web.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
