  • A A pond
  • B A forest
  • C A parasitic
  • D A grassland

Correct answer: D. A grassland

Explanation: A grassland shows an upright pyramid of numbers - many producer grasses support fewer herbivores and still fewer carnivores.

Energy Pyramid (10% Law)Carnivore~10 unitsHerbivore~100 unitsProducer~1000 unitsOnly about 10% of energy passes to the next trophic levelFood chain: Grass to Deer to Tiger

Energy pyramid showing a simple food chain (producer to herbivore to carnivore) with energy decreasing roughly tenfold at each trophic level.

Concept context

Ecosystems, food chains, energy flow, nutrient cycles, biodiversity, and conservation.
