Solution

The correct option is D 14
The number of organisms in a food chain can be represented graphically in a pyramid. Each level shows the number of individuals at each trophic level in the food chain. Usually, from one level to next, the number of individuals decreases by 10%. If in a forest, producers are 14000, then primary consumers (herbivores) will be 1400 and secondary consumers (carnivores) will be 140. The tertiary consumers (top carnivores) will be 14.
Thus, the correct answer is '14.'
