In ecology, a food chain illustrates how energy and nutrients flow through different organisms in an ecosystem. Among the options provided, the correct answer is:

Correct Answer: B. Grass, Goat and Human

This option represents a clear food chain where:

  • Grass serves as the primary producer, converting sunlight into energy.
  • Goat acts as a primary consumer, feeding on the grass.
  • Human is a secondary consumer, as they can eat goats.

Other options do not form a complete food chain as they lack a clear flow of energy from producers to consumers. For example:

  • Option A includes only plants.
  • Option C consists of herbivores without a clear producer.
  • Option D mixes different types of consumers without a direct energy flow.

Thus, B is the only option that effectively illustrates a food chain.
