The correct answer is Trophic Level.

Key Points

A specific place of an organism in the food chain is referred to as its "trophic level".
Trophic levels are the stages that energy passes through as it flows through an ecosystem, from photosynthetic plants up to the top predators.
Each level has organisms that share the same function in the food chain and the same nutritional relationship to primary sources of energy.
Here's a simple example: plants, which produce their own food, are at the first trophic level. Herbivores, which eat plants, are at the second trophic level.
Carnivores, which eat herbivores, are at the third trophic level, and so on.
