Answer 1

A Mouse

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary consumers are the consumers that get their energy from producers.

The hawk is a top predator. Their diet consists only of other consumers.

A fox is a secondary consumer. It eats primary consumers.

The snake eats mice and lizards which are both consumers.

The mouse is the only answer choice that only gets energy from producers, meeting the requirements to be a primary consumer.

I had to cut some information out because it apparently used a swear word. I figured out which word.
