Solution

The correct option is A Both A and R are true and R explains A
Many living organisms are omnivores. It is difficult to place these organisms in a linear food chain. For example, when a bear eats berries, the bear is functioning as a primary consumer but when the same bear eats a plant-eating rodent, the bear is functioning as a secondary consumer. So, the diet of some organisms makes the relationships complex and a food web is formed.
