Solution
The correct option is D Kingfisher
Apex consumer is consumers with few to no predators of their own, residing at the top of their food chain. A kingfisher is a good example of a tertiary consumer since it is at the top of the food chain in aquatic animals and at the same time cannot be consumed by all marine fish. Since rabbit, cow and fish are in the middle of the food chain and have predators, they aren't apex consumers.So, the correct answer is 'Kingfisher'
