Bamboo plant is growing in a far forest then what will be the trophic level of it : -
A First trophic level (T1)
B Second trophic level (T2)
C Third trophic level (T3)
D Fourth trophic level (T4)

Detailed Solution

Green plants are producers: they make their own food by photosynthesis.
Producers always occupy the first trophic level ($T_1$) of any food chain, wherever they grow.
Herbivores are at $T_2$, and carnivores at $T_3$ and $T_4$.
So the bamboo plant is at the first trophic level ($T_1$).
