Question

First order consumers are

• A. Carnivores
• B. Herbivores
• C. Decomposers
• D. Omnivores

Answer 1

The correct option is B Herbivores

In a food chain, green plants are the first trophic level as they synthesize food using sunlight by the process of photosynthesis. Hence green plants are called producers. Herbivores are animals such as deer which feed on plants. They belong to the second trophic level. Hence they are primary consumers also called first order consumers. Thus the correct answer is option B.
