A Correct answer
Explanation

The pyramid of energy, represents the total amount of energy consumed by each trophic level. An energy pyramid is always upright, as the total amount of energy available for utilization in the layers above, is less than the energy available in the lower levels. This happens because during energy transfer from lower to higher levels, some energy is always lost.
