Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

(B) Birds and fishes — this matches (III) Secondary consumers. They feed on small animals, such as insects, that eat plants. An animal that eats a plant-eater is a secondary consumer.
(C) Grasshopper and cow — this matches (II) Primary consumers. They are herbivores and feed directly on plants.
(D) Grass and trees — this matches (I) Producers. They make their own food by photosynthesis and start every food chain.
