The correct option is A
True

An organism represents a single trophic level in a food chain. Interconnecting multiple food chains result in a food web. In a food web, an organism can represent multiple trophic levels.

For example, in the given food chains, Eagle occupies different trophic levels.

Grass → Grasshopper → Frog →Snake → Eagle (Fourth)

Grass → Rabbit → Eagle (Third)

Eagle is the tertiary consumer in the first food chain but secondary consumer in the second food chain.
