b.producer or algae
c.carnivore or hawk

Answer 1

carnivore is the answer

Answer 2

The correct answer would be option C.

In any food chain, energy is lost at each trophic as heat as a result of cellular respiration.

According to ten percent law, only ten percent of the energy present at any trophic level is passed onto the next or higher trophic level.

Due to this, the highest trophic level which is usually occupied by carnivores received the least amount of energy in any food chain.
