As per the question, option A i.e. 'All food chains begin with animal protein' does not demonstrate a fact as food chains do not always begin with the animal protein. Some food chains begin with 'sunlight' where the plants receive the energy from the sun to synthesize food which is further consumed by herbivores and these plant-eating animals are later consumed by the carnivores and so on.
