The correct answer is Option (3)- Secondary consumers

Producers: Organisms like plants and algae that produce their own food through photosynthesis.

Primary consumers: Herbivores that eat producers (plants and algae).

Secondary consumers: Carnivores or omnivores that eat primary consumers. Sparrows can eat both seeds and insects, making them secondary consumers in this context.
