Detailed explanation-1: -Consumers can be carnivores (animals that eat other animals) or omnivores (animals that eat both plants and animals). Omnivores, like people, consume many types of foods.
Detailed explanation-2: -An animal that eats producers, like plants or algae, is called an herbivore. Carnivores eat other consumers. This means they eat other animals. Animals that eat both producers and consumers are called omnivores.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Omnivore’.
Detailed explanation-4: -Consumers constitute the upper trophic levels. Unlike producers, they cannot make their own food. To get energy, they eat plants or other animals, while some eat both.
