Solution
The correct option is A First trophic level (T1)
The process of transfer of energy from producers through a series of organisms i.e., from primary consumers to secondary consumers to tertiary consumers by the process of eating and being eaten constitute a food chain.
Bamboo plant is part of a grazing food chain. These plants are producers (green plants) that are able to synthesise their own food via photosynthesis, and they occupy at the bottom or first trophic level (T1). Hence option a is correct.
Consumers are dependent on plants for food. It includes herbivores (pandas) that eat plants as primary consumers and occupy the second trophic level (T2). They are further eaten up by carnivores called secondary consumers or primary carnivores (snow leopard), present at third trophic level (T3).
