Answer 1

C. Producer → primary consumer → secondary consumer - This direction of energy flow through a simple food chain is correct. Producers, such as green plants, produce their own food using energy from the sun. Primary consumers, such as herbivores, eat the producers for energy. Secondary consumers, such as carnivores, eat the primary consumers for energy.
