Question

which of the following picks up nutrients from the soil to be made available for herbivores? insects humans plants animals

Explanation:

Plants are primary producers. They absorb nutrients from the soil through their roots. Herbivores then consume these plants to obtain the nutrients. Insects are not primary absorbers of soil nutrients for herbivores. Humans are not the direct link for herbivores to get soil - derived nutrients. Animals (in a general sense here, not herbivores) do not pick up nutrients from the soil in the way described for herbivores' nutrition.

Answer:

plants
