    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Food chain is a series of organisms interrelated in their feeding habits, the smallest being fed upon by a larger one, which in rum feeds a still larger one, etc. A food chain begins with a producer, usually a green plant or alga that creates its own food through photosynthesis.
