Grass, wheat and mango are all producers.
Hence, they can not form a food-chain.
(b) Grass, goat and human
Grass is a producer.
Goat is a herbivore which eats grass.
Human is an omnivore which can eat goat.
Hence, (b) forms a food chain.
(c) Goat, cow and elephant
Goat, cow and elephant are all herbivores.
Hence, they can’t feed on one another.
