Solution
The correct option is B Second
The term 'trophic level' indicates the position of an organism in the food chain. The given food chain starts with grass which represents the first trophic level. The cow is a herbivore that derives food directly from plants and belongs to the second trophic level. Lion is the carnivore in this food chain and it depends on the cow for its food. So the lion belongs to the third trophic level.
