• B. Secondary consumers
• C. Producers
• D. Tertiary consumers

Answer 1

The correct option is C Producers

Generally, in the food chains of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, the largest population is that of producers. The number of organisms in each trophic level of a food chain depends upon the availability of food and energy. As producers form the base of the energy pyramid in these ecosystems, they are generally more in number.
