Answer:

The correct option will be option 3 (seeds, mice, snakes).

Step-by-step explanation:

Food chain is a hierarchical series of organisms starting from producer organisms to carniovre species, each representing a different trophic level , linked to one another by the food they eat.

Sequence of food chain is as :

Tertiary consumers (top carnivores-eat carnivores )

Secondary consumers (carnivores-eat herbivores)

Primary consumers (herbivores-eat plants)

Primary producers (photosynthetic organisms)

In food chain of seeds, mice, snakes :

snakes (carnivore-eat mice)

mice (herbivore-eat seeds)

seeds (photosynthetic plant part)

Thus, option 3- seeds, mice, snakes is the correct answer.
