The correct option is A

Ecological efficiency describes the efficiency with which energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. If one observes the diagram above, the efficiency of producers is only 0.1% but the primary consumers and top consumers have 10% efficiency.

Thus, primary consumers and secondary consumers have same ecological efficiency.
