The correct option is D They are fewer in number than are primary consumers
Secondary consumers are carnivores and at the third trophic level. When we see in grassland ecosystem pyramid,we will find that primary producers are maximum in number and then primary consumer and then secondary consumer. Means secondary consumers are fewer in number then primary consumers.
