Solution

The correct option is C

carnivores


The position of an organism in a food chain is called its trophic level. Producers always occupy the first trophic level of a food chain. The primary consumers or the herbivores occupy the second trophic level. Carnivores or the secondary consumers occupy the third trophic level and the predators that consume the primary consumers occupy the fourth trophic level.
