Answer:

3) consume primarily carnivores.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carnivores are animals that consume other animals to obtain energy and nutrients, this can happen through predation or scavenging. A top carnivore or apex predator is a carnivore at the top of the food chain, this means that it doesn't have predators and it consumes secondary consumers (that are also carnivores).

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
