Answer:

Killer Whale

Step-by-step explanation:

Killer Whale is the tertiary consumer, because it can feed on the Brittle star and they hunt seals and sea lions. They are top predators in the ocean food chain. They are a major part of the food chain within the ocean. They feed on the primary and secondary predators as their own prey.
