• B. Secondary consumer and an autotroph
• C. Tertiary consumer and a heterotroph
• D. A primary consumer and an autotroph
• E. A primary consumer and a heterotroph

Answer 1

The correct option is E A primary consumer and a heterotroph

A seed is a producer as it is a part of plant. Since the mouse is eating the seed i.e. producer, it is a herbivore or primary consumer and a heterotroph, since it can't prepare its own food and is feeding on the seed.

So, the correct answer is 'A primary consumer and a heterotroph'.
