    A)

    B)

    C)

    D)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The ecological pyramid of energy is always upright because the distribution of energy is always reducing as the trophic level becomes higher (from primary producer to tertiary consumer). The total amount of energy available for utilisation in the layers above is less than the energy available in the lower levels.
