Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
In a food chain:
Grass → Producer (1st trophic level)
Insect → Primary Consumer (2nd trophic level)
Bird → Secondary Consumer (3rd trophic level)
Cat → Tertiary Consumer (4th trophic level)
Since the Insect feeds directly on the producer (grass), it occupies the second trophic (nutritional) level.
