Solution

The correct option is B Fish
In pond ecosystem, fishes occupy more than one trophic level. In the food chain of pond ecosystems phytoplantons are the producers upon which primary consumers like zooplanktons and fishes feed directly. However, the fishes may also act as a secondary consumer in other trophic levels by feeding on zooplanktons or other small fishes.
