The correct option is B Trophic level
  • The trophic level of an organism is the position it occupies in a food chain. A food chain mostly has three or four trophic levels.
  • Primary producers are plants that are autotrophs and belong to the first trophic level.
  • Primary consumers are animals that belong to the second trophic level and feed on plants.
  • Secondary consumers feed on primary consumers and belong to the third trophic level.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
