Solution

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