Answer 1

The correct option is A

Primary Consumer; Secondary Consumer; Tertiary Consumer

In an ecosystem, photosynthetic plants and bacteria act as producers. The food synthesised by producers is utilised by primary consumers (such as krill). The primary consumers are eaten by the secondary consumers (such as small fish) and in turn, they are consumed by the tertiary consumers (such as large fish). The tertiary consumers may be eaten by man.
