Answer 1

The correct option is C

Primary consumer to secondary consumer

The correct option is C.

Explanation of the Correct option:

1. Grasshoppers depend upon grass for their food, they cannot make their own food.
2. Hence they are primary consumers as they depend upon producers.
3. Now if the grasshoppers are eaten by frogs they become the secondary producers.

Final answer: If a grasshopper is eaten by a frog, then the energy transfer will be from the Primary consumer to the secondary consumer.
