C) herbivorous animal D) predator
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) predator

Explanation:

A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers.

Tertiary consumers often occupy the top trophic level, and so are predated by no other animals; in this case they are called "apex predators". However, when they die their bodies will be consumed by scavengers and decomposers.
