Final answer:

The simple food chain is represented by Producer → primary consumer → secondary consumer.


Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option that represents a simple food chain is D. Producer → primary consumer → secondary consumer.

In a food chain, energy flows from the producer (plants) to the primary consumer (herbivores) and then to the secondary consumer (carnivores that eat herbivores).

For example, in a grassland ecosystem, grass (producer) is eaten by a grasshopper (primary consumer), which is then eaten by a frog (secondary consumer).
