C. tertiary consumer
D. secondary consumer

Answer

c

Explanation

`"Producer"tounderset("primary consumer")("Ist Trophic level")tounderset("Secondary consumer")("IInd Trophic level")tounderset("Tertiary consumer")("IIITrophic level")`
Scavengers are the detrivores which feeds on the tissue of dead animals (e.g.,vultures) and do not play role in carbon fixation. Producers fix the carbon dioxide which is passed through the different trophic level.
