Solution

The correct option is A

food web


Most animals are part of more than one food chain and eat more than one kind of food in order to meet their food and energy requirements. These interconnected food chains form a food web.
This interdependence of the populations within a food chain helps to maintain the balance of plant and animal populations i.e the producers and consumers respectively within a community.
