Just look at the type of question JAMB framed! If goat, so said, has nothing doing in the forest, what about man? Ok take a look at option D, from bird to Lion. When on earth have anyone heard that Lions feed on birds? Some ineffectual UME questions proved the point that Nigerian exams are set, in most cases, to make a caricature of student's brain!

For those saying that diatoms has nothing to do with a forest, let's not forget that a forest can have a swamp, lake, forest....pls let's be guided 🙏🙏🙏

be guided positively please ..in this context we judge base on terrestrial and aquatic habitat.... from this diatom is a producer in aquatic habitat and never possible to be a producer inthe forest

Nb:forest is an terrestrial habitat,goat is also terrestrial
I hope this would help

This is a logical question., indeed GOAT doesn't have any business whatsoever doing in d forest.

firstly observe the question,they said " not POSSIBLE". This means you are meant to judge this question based on terrestrial and aquatic views.
Even if you keep a goat in a forest it can survive on grass,fly can survive on decaying matter.
With this they fall under " POSSIBLE".
But now how on earth can you find a diatom in a forest,so this falls under the" NOT possible"

did you people get the question at all? they said which of the food chain is not possible in a forest, so since you all know that diatoms are not found in the forest that alone should make u tick A as the correct answer, instead you are arguing that diatoms are found in aquatic environments yet you say the answer is wrong meanwhile the question is saying the same thing that u should tick the food chain not found possibily in the forest

and note the question did not say which does not EXISTS, it says which is not POSSIBLE
Goat and man does not exist in a forest but it is more possible for it to exist that for a diatom.

xame with me diatoms are found in water how do they relate to forest?

ivoryokafor

option A is correct
why?

Diatoms are microscopic algae that are primarily found in aquatic ecosystems (oceans, lakes, rivers). They are the base of the food chain in water, not in forests. Since forests are terrestrial ecosystems, a food chain starting with diatoms is not possible in a forest.
The other options all involve terrestrial organisms and are therefore possible in a forest.
