Answer 2

B) consumers

Step-by-step explanation:

Animals can be carnivores or not (they can also be herbivores or omnivores), so option A is not correct.

In any food web, animals function as a consumers. They can be primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and so on; depending on which place of the chain they are.

In any food web, the producers are plants, not animals; so option D is incorrect.
