B Correct answer
Explanation

Option B represents a realistic terrestrial food chain: a leaf (producer) captures solar energy, which is then eaten by a caterpillar (primary consumer), which is eaten by a bird (secondary consumer), which is eaten by a snake (tertiary consumer), and finally eaten by an eagle (quaternary consumer). The other options contain unrealistic ecological relationships or incorrect trophic links.
