Hint: The food web comprises several food chains. It is a large network where animals sustain on feeding on each other. Producers are called plants which are getting eaten by primary consumers like- rabbits, goats, sheep etc. primary consumers are fed by secondary consumers like- snakes, hawks, eagles etc. then tertiary consumers like- tigers, lions, and even decomposers.

option B is the correct answer.
Option C: field rat- field rats are useless creatures only good for experiments however some people do eat rats in case of poverty line or no other option.
Option C is not the correct answer.
Option D: Domestic cat- domestic cats or cat meat are being eaten as a tradition in Mexico countries. Some people regularly consume cat meat.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Note:
In a food chain involvement of different species and animals in a single habitat is being observed but every organism depends on each other for their survival. If the producers fail to grow or primary consumers count is low or decreases then, the disruption of the food chain can happen. Ecology is the key to the diverse species and smaller groups of habitats forming chains together are called ecosystems.
