Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
According to Lindeman's 10% law, only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next; the rest is lost as heat through respiration. Producers (Trophic Level 1) have 10,000 kcal. Primary consumers (Level 2) get 10% of 10,000 = 1,000 kcal. Secondary consumers (Level 3) get 10% of 1,000 = 100 kcal. Tertiary consumers (Level 4) get 10% of 100 = 10 kcal.
