Answer:

Bison is a food source for large secondary consumers in the prairie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bisons are herbivores, so they eat plants. This means they are first-order consumers as first-order consumers always eat producers. Producers are like crops or plants. So they aren't predators, decomposers or predators. They are probably food for secondary consumers as secondary consumers eat first order consumers.
