Solution

The correct option is B Fish

In a pond ecosystem, fish occupy more than one trophic level. In the food chain of pond ecosystems, phytoplanktons are the producers which are consumed by the zooplanktons and fish directly and these are called primary consumers. However, the fish may also act as a consumer in other trophic levels by feeding on zooplanktons or even other small fish.
