Detailed explanation-1: -An example of a food chain would be, plant > rabbit > fox, since rabbits feed on plants and the fox feeds on the rabbit. The fox together with all other animals are unable to produce their own food so need to seek food and are called consumers.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the given food chain, grass is producer, rabbit is the primary consumer, wild cat is the secondary consumer and tiger is the tertiary consumer. The secondary consumer, i.e., the wild cat, is also the primary carnivore. Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

Detailed explanation-3: -Because rodents and lagomorphs are abundant plant eaters, they occupy an important position in the food chain of their communities. All food energy originates from the sun, and only green plants can convert sunlight into food energy. Some of this energy is passed onto animals that feed on green plants.
