Solution

The correct option is D
carnivores

The top level of the food chain is always occupied by a carnivore. The first level of the food chain is always occupied by the producers (autotrophs) who prepare their own food. Organisms that depend on other organisms for their food are called consumers. Tigers and lions are examples of animals that occupy the top level of the food chain.
