Answer 1

The correct option is B Grass $\to$ insect $\to$ bird $\to$ snake

A simple food chain to represent the passage of food would be written as follows:

grass - insects - birds - snake

In the food chain, the green plant (grass) is the primary producer by trapping energy from sunlight. The grasshopper (insect) is the primary consumers because they directly consume the green plant. The bird is the secondary consumer because it eats the grasshopper. The snake, a tertiary consumer, eats the bird.
