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
