Answer
Primary Consumer
Reason — A rat usually feeds on plants, grains, and seeds, so it acts as a herbivore in most food chains. Rat is the primary consumer in the food chain. Rat is eaten by snake which is a secondary consumer of the food chain or ecosystem.
Producers are plants (make their own food). Primary consumers are herbivores. Secondary/Tertiary consumers are carnivores.
