Answer: A. vegetables, meat, chicken

B. insects, fruits, seeds

Step-by-step explanation:

A primary consumer is the trophic level in the food chain, which feeds upon the plants and other autotrophs. It includes all the herbivorous animals.

A secondary consumer is the trophic level in the food chain, which feeds upon the herbivorous animals. They are carnivores.

A and B are the two correct options. A will feed upon both plant and animal products such as vegetables and meat, and chicken respectively.

Also B also consumes over the plant products such as fruits and seeds and insects.
