Solution
The correct option is A Food chain An autotroph produces the food and herbivores consume them as their own food. then carnivorous feed upon the herbivores and in this way energy and material are transferred through an ecosystem that is from producer to consumer. This chain of energy flow consists of many organisms on the different trophic level and this chain is known as the food chain.
