A Correct answer
Explanation

First tropic level in an energy pyramid represents producers which contain the highest amount of energy. Therefore, the first trophic level will transfer the highest amount of energy to the next trophic level. Since only 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic levels, the higher trophic levels will have less amount of energy as compared to the first trophic level.
