Answer:

d. consumer

Step-by-step explanation:

The question here is tricky because it mentions the leopard and lion. But that's just to throw a person off-track. There isn't an answer that would describe regular food chain happenings. It's a consumer, a consumer in the food chain is a living thing that eats organisms from a different population.

Answer:

d. consumer​

Step-by-step explanation:

Zebra and Deer are consumer (to be specific they are primary consumers) because they feed on plants only. Producers are organisms that create the food such as plants.
