Solution
The correct option is C 1, 2 and 3
A food web consists of a number of food chains meshed together. In a food web, one organism can consume multiple organisms and can itself be consumed by multiple organisms. Food web represents reality more closely than the food chain. They help understand ecological interactions that define energy flows and predator-prey relationships. It reveals different patterns of energy transfer in an ecosystem.
