Answer 2

The correct answer is "A consumer is obtaining carbon by eating carbon-based molecules stored in a producer".

Step-by-step explanation:

The animal is consuming the carbon present in the molecules stored in the grass. Plants process the carbon present in the soil along with other minerals. The animal, when it feeds on these plants, is consuming the carbon they obtained from the soil. Grasslands are defined largely by their use for grazing, which includes between 10 and 30 percent of soil carbon worldwide.
