Answer: I would say A. Correct me if I'm wrong. I forgot the actual answer when I had this question but my explanation might help you out a little bit.

Step-by-step explanation:

(From Google)

A food web consists of many food chains. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass. A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected.
