Column-A:                     Column-B:

i. Producer                         a. Rabbit

ii. Primary consumer             b. Green plants

iii. Secondary consumer         c. Bacteria and fungus

iv. Decomposer                     d. Fox

Correct option is A

The correct Ans is (a) i-b, ii-a, iii-d, iv-c
The correct matches are:
· Producer - Green plants (b): Producers are organisms that create their own food through photosynthesis, like green plants.
· Primary consumer - Rabbit (a): Primary consumers are herbivores that eat producers, and rabbits fit this category.
· Secondary consumer - Fox (d): Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Foxes prey on herbivores like rabbits.
· Decomposer - Bacteria and fungus (c): Decomposers break down organic material, returning nutrients to the ecosystem.
Information Booster:
· Producers form the base of the food chain, converting solar energy into chemical energy.
· Primary consumers rely on producers for their energy.
· Secondary consumers help maintain the balance of the ecosystem by controlling the population of primary consumers.
· Decomposers play a critical role in nutrient recycling, supporting ecosystem sustainability.
