Answer 2

Following are the components of a food chain:

• Producer: It is the first level of a food chain. Producers are autotrophic and make their own food. Plants are an example of producers
• Primary consumer: These stand on the second level of a food chain. They are herbivores and feed on the producers. Grasshoppers that feed on plants are an example of primary consumers. Rabbit, goat, sheep are other examples.
• Secondary consumers: These occupy the third level of a food chain. They feed on the primary consumers and hence are carnivores. Frogs that feed on insects and foxes that feed on goats are examples of these.
• Tertiary consumers: These usually occupy the apex of the food chain. They feed on the secondary consumers and are carnivores. Hawks feed on varieties of frogs and hence are examples of tertiary consumers.

Therefore, (b) hawk is a tertiary consumer.
