If the carbon atoms fixed by producers already have passed through three species, the trophic level of the last species would be

A

scavenger

B

tertiary producer

C

tertiary consumer

D

secondary consumer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
If the carbon atoms fixed by producer already have passed through three species then the trophic level of the last species (i.e. third species ) would be tertiary consumer.
