(C) Man
(D) Zooplankton
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) –(B), (D), (A), (C)
To arrange the organisms in the correct sequence of a food chain, we go from producer to primary consumer, then to secondary/tertiary consumers, and finally to top predators (like humans).
Here are the roles of each:
- (B) Phytoplankton – Primary producers (photosynthetic organisms)
- (D) Zooplankton – Primary consumers (feed on phytoplankton)
- (A) Fish – Secondary consumers (feed on zooplankton)
- (C) Man – Tertiary consumer (feeds on fish)
Correct sequence:
(B) Phytoplankton → (D) Zooplankton → (A) Fish → (C) Man
