The correct option is C Primary consumer
Zooplankton is present on 2nd trophic level in a food chain in the aquatic ecosystem. They are primary consumers as they eat phytoplanktons (producers) and are themselves in turn eaten by small fishes (secondary consumers).Most of the zooplankton are very small microscopic species. For example, single-celled protists that feed mostly on bacteria. However, some zooplankton species can grow quite large such as the jellyfish, arrow worms etc. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
