Solution

The correct option is A Top at the apex of food pyramid
Green plant --> insect (grasshopper) --> frog --> snake peacock. In the food chain, the green plant is the primary producer by trapping energy from sunlight.
The insect (grasshopper) is the primary consumers, because they directly consume the green plant. The frog is the secondary consumer, because it eats the grasshopper. The snake, a primary carnivore eats the frog. The peacock is the tertiary carnivore, because it eats the primary carnivore, the snake. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
