Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Deer and bee
Deer and bee are both in the same trophic level – primary consumers. Crow being an omnivore, that feeds on insects etc, apart from the seeds and grains etc that it could feed on, is not always in the same trophic level as a cow, which is a primary consumer. The tiger being a secondary consumer that feed herbivores, do not belong to the same trophic level as the wild boar. Wild boars are also opportunistic omnivores, meaning they feed on plant and animal matter in addition to being able to play the role of a scavenger. And the snake and earthworm also do not occupy the same trophic level, as the snakes are carnivores eating frogs and small rodents, while earthworm feeds on dead decaying matter and plays a role of the detritivore.
