Solution

The correct option is A Lindeman
Only 10 percent of the gross productivity of producer is entrapped by herbivores for their body-building. Herbivores are eaten by primary carnivores. Only 10 percent of the herbivore productivity is utilised by carnivores. Higher carnivores are similarly able to retain only 10 percent of energy present in primary carnivores. This is called as 10 percent law by Lindeman.
