A food chain is series of plants/animals which are interrelated in the form of organism being eaten as food by the other. Trophic levels in a food chain are formed by producers and consumers. The plants are producers. They occupy the first trophic level in an ecological pyramid. The animals eating plants are called as herbivores. They occupy the second trophic level in an ecological pyramid. Animals eating primary consumers and secondary consumers are called as carnivores. They occupy the tip of an ecological pyramid.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Carnivores.'
