Solution
The correct option is A snakes The diagram is a food pyramid and starts with producers or plants at the base and ends with the consumers. Here, the plants that primarily synthesize energy are consumed by the cricket, which is eaten by the frog. The frog is eaten by a snake at the apex. Hence the snake has the least biomass.
