Solution
The correct option is D Food chain A food chain is a sequential chain of species that begins with a producer continues to a consumer and ends with a decomposer. The arrows point from an organism that is consumed to the organism that consumes it. Most food chains begin with plants and end with decomposers such as saprophytes.
