The group “Grass, goat and human” forms a food chain.

A food chain represents the flow of energy in an ecosystem. It typically starts with producers (organisms that make their own food, like plants – grass), followed by primary consumers (herbivores that eat producers – goat), and then secondary or tertiary consumers (carnivores or omnivores that eat other consumers – human eating goat). The chain shows a linear sequence of who eats whom.

Option A is incorrect because fish do not typically eat humans in an ecological food chain context. Option C is incorrect because “tree cutter” is not a consumer in the ecological sense of energy transfer; tigers also don’t typically consume tree cutters as a primary food source. Option D lists multiple primary consumers and one omnivore but doesn’t form a single, sequential food chain; it rather describes organisms at different trophic levels or parallel food paths (goat eats grass, cow eats grass, human might eat goat or cow).
