Option 1: Grass - Insect - Elephant

In this food chain, the grass is the producer, as it produces its own food through photosynthesis. The insect is the primary consumer, as it consumes the grass. However, the elephant is a herbivore and only consumes plant matter, so it cannot be considered a non-vegetarian. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.

Option 3: Fish - Insect - Whale

In this food chain, the fish is the producer, as it is capable of producing its own food. The insect is a primary consumer, as it consumes the fish. However, the whale is a carnivore and only consumes other animals, so it cannot be considered a non-vegetarian. Therefore, option 3 is incorrect.
