    A. Primary consumer that is food for the snake and hawk

    Explanation:

    The grass would serve as the bottom of the pyramid; The producer.

    The producer is what gives energy to the primary consumers; grasshopper, squirrel, and mouse.

    Since the mouse is gaining sustenance and energy from the producer, it is labeled as a primary consumer.

    The mouse is said to have an arrow towards both the snake and hawk, meaning it is consumed by both.
