Correct answer is (c) Food chain efficiency is about 10 %.

Q. The diagram represents a pyramid of energy which shows energy loss from a food chain to decomposers, upward transfer of energy to the next trophic level and energy loss through respiration. All figures are in $k K m^{- 2} Y^{- 1}$

What is illustrated by this diagram?

A pyramid of energy shows the nutrient transfer less clearly than a pyramid of numbers.

Energy loss to decomposers is higher than respiratory loss.

Food chain efficiency is about $10%$ .

The energy of the final trophic level is not used.

Correct answer is (c) Food chain efficiency is about $10%$ .
