states:

Carnivores that eat herbivores is BEST described as which one the following tropic level?

A. Primary Producers
B. Primary Consumers
C. Secondary Consumers
D. Tertiary Consumers
E. Tertiary Producers

I thought it would be D...

However, it states that it is C.

When it used the word BEST, humans are the tertiary consumers that eat herbivores NO??
Secondary consumers are the smaller animals that eat smaller herbivores...
How can you tell which one is the best??

Thanks
