The correct option is D Zooplankton
In an ecosystem, there are different trophic levels. Specific individuals are present in each trophic level. The first trophic level consists of producers such as plants, grass and other photosynthetic organisms. In an aquatic ecosystem, first trophic level contains phytoplankton. In grassland ecosystem, first trophic level contains grass. In second trophic level, primary consumers are present which feed on producers. In aquatic ecosystem, it contains zooplankton which feed on phytoplankton. In grassland ecosystem, it contains cows which feed on grass.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Zooplankton.'
