Best answer

Cabbage/plant-> rabbit-> snake-> owl (Any other relevant food chain) 

Pesticides are non-biodegradable and persist for long. So when humans consume plants or any animal that consume this plant, the pesticide enters the food chain and keeps getting accumulated at each trophic level, thus the organism in the last trophic level-human being has the highest concentration of pesticide and this is called biological magnification.
