The saber-tooth tiger is classified as a consumer and specifically a carnivore, as it primarily hunted and consumed other animals. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**F) b & d** (b: consumer; d: herbivore) would not be correct since saber-tooth tigers were not herbivores. The best option in this context is simply **B) consumer**, as they relied on other organisms for food. However, since that is not listed as an option alone, F does not apply either.
In conclusion:
The saber-tooth tiger is best described as a **consumer**.
