Step-by-step explanation:

Gulls, or colloquially seagulls, are seabirds of the family Laridae in the suborder Lari. ... Most gulls are ground-nesting carnivores that take live food or scavenge opportunistically, particularly the Larus species. Live food often includes crustaceans, mollusks, fish, and small birds.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is shown in the image attached

Answer:

F

Step-by-step explanation:

The image shows a food web. A food web shows all the possible feeding relationships in an ecosystem.

We have to know that the concentration of chemical pollutants increases in organisms as you move up the food web. Higher level organisms tend to accumulate a greater concentration of chemical pollutants than the organisms that are lower in the food web.

Thus, the organism which appears at the highest level of the food web shown in the image will most likely have accumulated the largest concentration of long lasting chemical pollutants in their bodies.
