The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct food chain from the given options, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of Each Food Chain**: - A food chain consists of producers (plants), primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), and sometimes tertiary consumers (top predators). 2. **Analyze Option 1**: - The first option describes a food chain starting with grass (producer), followed by an insect (primary consumer), then a chameleon (secondary consumer), and finally a bird (tertiary consumer). - **Evaluation**: This sequence is incorrect because it does not accurately represent a typical food chain. Chameleons are not commonly known to eat insects in this context. 3. **Analyze Option 2**: - The second option suggests grass (producer), followed by a fox (which is a carnivore), and then a bird. - **Evaluation**: This food chain is incorrect because a fox does not eat grass. Instead, it would eat herbivores like rabbits. 4. **Analyze Option 3**: - The third option lists phytoplankton (primary producers), followed by zooplankton (primary consumers), and then fish (secondary consumers). - **Evaluation**: This is a correct food chain in an aquatic ecosystem. Phytoplankton are consumed by zooplankton, which are then eaten by fish. 5. **Analyze Option 4**: - The fourth option mentions fallen leaves (detritus), bacteria (decomposers), and insect larvae. - **Evaluation**: This is incorrect because while bacteria decompose fallen leaves, they are not typically consumed by insect larvae. 6. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all options, the only correct food chain is **Option 3**: Phytoplankton → Zooplankton → Fish. ### Final Answer: The correct food chain is **Option 3**: Phytoplankton → Zooplankton → Fish. ---
