    Solution :

Here a single large sized tree providers food to a large number of herbivores which support a few carnivores and the later are eaten by small number of top carnivores. So, here PP is used for producer, i.e., single tree, PC is Primary Consumers, i.e., large number of insects, SC is secondary consumers, i.e., small insectivorous birds and TC is Top consumers which may be eagles or falcon, etc.
