Did the test and its right

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer is - has little support at the lowest level.
The lowest level of this food chain is the plankton. As you know, plankton are very small and not that nourishing in small amounts. Thus, it doesn't really support the highest species in the food chain as much as some other species would.
