Solution

The correct option is A Upright
The food chain is comprised of different species which depend on each other for energy. When there is a flow of energy from one trophic level to another, there is a loss of about 90% of the energy. Only 10% of the energy is transferred to the next level. So, with the increase in the trophic levels, there is a decrease in the amount of energy which results in the pyramid of energy being upright.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
