C
coyote-rabbit-grass
D
grass-coyote-rabbit
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Grazing food chain (GFC) – This is the normal food chain that we observe in which plants are the producers and the energy flows from the producers to the herbivores (primary consumers), then to carnivores (secondary consumers) and so on.

Detailed explanation-2: -A rabbit is considered a primary consumer. Trophic levels start with producers, which are organisms that can make their own food, like plants and certain species of bacteria. The next level is primary consumers, which only eat producers. Rabbits fall into this level because they are herbivores and eat only plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the food chain given below, grasshopper occupies the trophic level. Grass→Grasshopper→Frog→Snake→Eagle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Grass-Grasshopper-Frog-Snake-Eagle correctly represents a food chain.
