In a food chain, the third trophic level is always occupied by :(a) carnivores (b) herbivores (c) decomposers (d) producers

Academic Biology NCERT Class 10

Correct answer: (a) carnivores

Explanation: The third trophic level is always occupied by carnivores. The first trophic level is occupied by producers, the second by herbivores, and the fourth by decomposers.
