Solution

The correct option is B Carnivores
In a grassland ecosystem, herbivores are the primary consumers. Herbivores are eaten by carnivores which are the top consumers. Decomposers like bacteria and fungi that act on dead and decaying matter are considered a part of the detritus food chain, and not considered in other food chains.
