A
Grass
B
Insect
C
Snake
D
Snail
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A predator is an animal which kills another animal (the prey) for food. For example, a snake is a predator because it eats frogs (prey). However, the frog is also a predator (however unintimidating it seems!) because it eats grasshoppers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer. Explanation: Frogs and other amphibians are prey for many other animals-birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, and even other amphibians rely upon these animals as a food source. Amphibians’ ability to live both in water and on land greatly increases the range of predators that depend on them for food.
