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.
