Solution

The correct option is D chemical energy
Solution
Option (c) is correct. [1 Mark]
The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat. Plants store chemical energy and the same is transferred to various trophic levels.
