Answer:

A.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is food chain A, as plants produce their own food using photosynthesis, therefore making them producers.

A grasshopper then eats this grass, making it a consumer as it is obtaining its energy from the producer. It is then eaten by a fish and a human. This chain accurately describe the flow of energy in an ecosystem, as it goes, producer, consumer, consumer, consumer

Hope this helps a little
