Question

The following are classes of biotic components of ecosystems except
Options
A omnivores
Correct Answer
B decomposer
C consumers
D producers
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Omnivores are a type of consumer, not a separate class of biotic components. The main functional classes of biotic components in an ecosystem are producers, consumers (which can be further divided into herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, etc.), and decomposers. So, omnivore is a subset of consumers, not a primary class like the others.

Hint

Which of these is a specific type of consumer, not a major category like producer or decomposer?
