A food chain is series of plants/animals which are interrelated in the form of organism being eaten as food by the other. Food chains are divided into three types, namely detritus food chain, grazing food chain and parasitic food chain. Grazing food chain starts with green plants followed by herbivores followed by carnivores. Detritus food chain starts from dead organic matter into microorganisms and then to detrivores and their predators. In parasitic food chain, producer or consumer is parasitized by a parasite. Hence, the the food passes to the smaller organism. Thus, the correct answer is 'Three.'
