Solution
The correct option is D 1 unit
10 percent Law introduced by Lindeman states that only 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to another and 90% of the energy is lost during transfer, respiration and digestion processes. Therefore if plants (present at producers level) produces 100 units of energy, 10% of it will be transferred to primary consumers (10 units of energy) and 10% of the subsequent energy is transferred to secondary consumers (1 unit of energy). Hence, the correct answer is option A.
