Solution
The correct option is B Herbivore
Green plants can fix the atmospheric carbon dioxide into organic compounds in the presence of sunlight and serve as producer. Primary consumers are the organisms that feed on producers. Herbivores feed on plants and plant products and are primary consumers. The organisms that feed on primary consumers are termed as secondary consumers. Carnivores and omnivores are secondary and tertiary consumers. Decomposers are the organisms that feed on debris left behind by scavengers and release the nutrients in the form of simpler substances back to the atmosphere. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
