Answer 2

Answer: Primary consumers

Step-by-step explanation:

A food chain is a order of distribution of energy in the form of food. This is because organism is consumed by other organism.

The primary consumers are the herbivores which consume producers (plants). They are likely to die during the early stages of their life cycle such as zooplanktons, insects, rats and others. They are abundantly available and hence are the source of diet for various higher animals.
