Answer 2

Answer:

A.) Primary Consumer

Explanation:

Herbivores occupy "primary consumers" on the food chain because of their diet. They primarily eat vegetation, which would be the producers. The other option choices would not be correct because 1.), producers do not consume other organisms; they make their own food from energy from the Sun. Secondary consumers are the predators of primary consumers; e.g., a grasshopper being primary and a mouse being secondary. Decomposers consume dead organisms or waste, recycling it into reusable compounds for producers.
