Solution

The correct option is C

Trophic level


A food chain is a sequence of who eats whom in a biological community. Most food chains start with the producers followed by different types of consumers like the herbivores, carnivores, top predators, decomposers, etc. Each food chain is a diagram including a series of arrows, each pointing from one organism to another and each organism or step represents a trophic level. For example, the producers form the first trophic level, herbivores feeding on the producers directly form the second trophic level and so on. Different interconnected food chains form a food web. A sere, is a stage in ecological succession.
