Question

The tiger is a consumer of

• A. first trophic level
• B. second trophic level
• C. third trophic level
• D. none of these

Hint:

Some chains may add apex predators as 4th level, but in Class 10 context tiger is 3rd.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Trophic levels.
Producers (1st), herbivores/primary consumers (2nd), carnivores/secondary consumers (3rd).
Step 2: Tiger’s role.
Tiger preys on herbivores (e.g., deer), so it is a secondary consumer at the 3rd trophic level.
