Multiple Choice

A carnivore that eats secondary consumers.

Explanation:
Think about the flow of energy through trophic levels. Producers (plants) are eaten by primary consumers (herbivores). Primary consumers are eaten by secondary consumers (carnivores that feed on herbivores). If a carnivore hunts and eats those secondary consumers, it sits one level higher—the tertiary consumer. So this description matches the tertiary consumer. For contrast, a primary consumer eats producers, a secondary consumer eats primary consumers, and a quaternary consumer eats tertiary consumers.
