1. Yes, A is the producer.
2. B and C are eating the producer, so they are the primary consumers, by definition.
3. Species E is a primary consumer (eating A), a secondary consumer ( eating C and B), and an omnivore (eats plants A, and animals B,C). Answer C

I dont understand how you can tell that E is eating A. I thought A would be eating E?
