Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Predators are the animals which kill or hunt other animals for food and the animal which is killed is called as prey. So, the lion is the predator which hunts for the wild beast for their food.
Secondary consumers are carnivores or omnivores which feed on the primary consumer which are herbivores. Therefore, the lion is a secondary consumer and wild beast is the primary.
