The correct option is D Secondary consumers

Grazing food chain
The grazing food chain is the most common food chain that occurs in the grasslands. The main source of energy in this chain is solar energy. An example of the grazing food chain is as follows:-
Producers (plants)→Primary consumers (herbivores)→ Secondary consumers (carnivores)

Primary producers
The primary producers in the grazing food chain are plants or the grasses that trap solar energy converting it to chemical energy.

Primary consumers
The primary consumers in the grazing food chain usually are herbivores like rabbits and zebras that feed on the plants.

Secondary consumers
The secondary consumers in the grazing food chain are the carnivores that prey on the herbivores.

Decomposers
Decomposers are bacteria and fungi that derive nutrition from the dead and decaying plants and animals.

Final answer
(D) Secondary consumers
